Economy adds 49K jobs in January, unemployment falls to 6.3 percent
By Sylvan Lane - 02/05/21 08:32 AM EST


The U.S. added 49,000 jobs in January and the unemployment rate fell to 6.3 percent, 0.4 percentage point drop, according to data released Friday by the Labor Department.

The uptick in jobs shows the recovery from the coronavirus recession resumed last month after December job losses, but the report underscored the deep damage yet to be repaired from the pandemic-driven economic crisis.

“This jobs report suggests signs of a nascent overall recovery, but food insecurity, costs of caregiving, persistently high unemployment, and small business stagnation necessitate emergency relief that targets those being left behind – especially women, people of color, and lower income workers,” said Nicole Goldin, nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, in a Friday analysis.

“Without further stimulus, our ability to get kids back in school and more fully reopen the economy will stymie consumer confidence, hiring, and investment.”

January’s drop in the unemployment rate and meager increase in hiring defied the consensus expectations of economists, who projected a gain of 100,000 jobs and an unchanged jobless rate.

Economists also warned that seasonal adjustments to the data would likely inflate January's job gains.

Any strength in this economy right now are residual effects of Trump's last 4 years of growth.

Give it 3-6 months to see Biden mess it up in earnest.

Thank you past President Donald J. Trump.  :patriot: :patriot:

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
