This update reviews several newly released labor-market indicators now that government reporting has resumed. September showed a gain of 119,000 jobs, an improvement after several uneven months that included smaller gains and occasional declines. The update walks through these recent data points to provide a clearer sense of how hiring has progressed.

Wage growth came in at 3.79% year over year, a level that has generally supported consumer activity while remaining consistent with broader inflation trends. The discussion also covers initial unemployment insurance claims, which registered about 220,000 last week—near the low end of their multi-year range and indicative of a job market with limited layoffs.

The goal is to offer clear, grounded context around current employment conditions and highlight the indicators most relevant for understanding momentum in the broader economy.
