JUST IN: Hiring in the U.S. fell far below expectations last month, with employers adding just 194,000 jobs versus the expected 500,000.

Every month the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases information that helps indicate the economy's health.Hiring in the U.S. fell far below expectations last month, with employers adding just 194,000 jobs versus the expected 500,000, the Department of Labor said Friday.

The unemployment rate dipped slightly to 4.8%, the DOL added Friday, but the latest hiring data comes after dismal job growth seen in August as well. The more-contagious delta variant's impact on the recovery is likely reflected in the disappointing figures, as the labor market still finds itself at the mercy of the virus.

DeirdreBolton WHOOPS

DeirdreBolton Part of the problem is that the job market is changing so quickly these days, that by the time anyone gets trained for a new career, all the job openings have switched to a completely different field.

DeirdreBolton A lot of people are just lazy

Inflation is WAY up. Gas is up 50% compared to last year and this clown is begging OPEC to lower the price of oil per barrel. While in office, Trump told OPEC what the price was.

Jobs are not up and the only reason unemployment is down is because either ppl are being paid more to stay home or they have ran out of unemployment and wages are surly not up because if they were ppl would be back to work.

ABC knows it’s a terrible jobs report, but they of course highlighted Biden’s obvious and misleading spin. Thanks for the objective reporting, abc.

'Jobs up' lol

Rating down.

The best thing you’ve said all this week

Why still not enough getting done due to no workers Open your eyes

Where? So many places have hiring signs in WA state!

Seriously,POTUS!Jobs up,wages up?Wages are up because businesses are begging people to work!Businesses are cutting hours/days because no one wants to work!That’s why there are more jobs available! Have you seen all the signs out looking for help?You seriously have a screw loose!

Huh? Who you kidding?

Fake news! Let’s go Brandon!

Biden RATE RATE TERRIBLE BIDEN LIES!!!

Nothing happens overnight

💩 show

The funny thing is, he believes it... hey Joe, there's boats with cargo on our border causing oil spills, can you take care of that then take your nap?

What the hell did he smoke before saying that? Does he really believe that line of BS? That is NOT reality!

Don't worry about the Economy....Joe's driving.

Wht a joke!

Are we on the same planet?

LIES SPIN STOPTHESPIN I’m a DEMOCRAT, I listened to his speech. STOP the misinformation & lies, we do NOT believe it! This administration is an EPIC FAIL. A Progressive Agenda= Economic Disaster, massive inflation. STOP LYING ABOUT THE JOBS REPORT, you can’t spin facts.

It's attributed to American people who are not discriminated against. Let's make that clear. I still do not have a job and I wasted 85% of my stimulus check traveling to job interviews but didn't get hired and when I was finally offered a position I ended up sick with COVID...

Prices up too

Many Americans are lazy. No politician will admit that.

a perfect example of empty-headed ..!

Looks like they need to use bigger font & to slow down the message board speed poor half brain can’t keep up or comprehend quick enough gotta feel bad for him

wtf is he talking about? in sept: 200k job increase but 100k births over deaths 200k illegal migrants that is net negative

Notice the difference in character. Donny would be saying 'I got unemployment down under 5%. Nobody thought it could be done.' Biden 'attributes it to the hard work and resilience of the American people.'

LetsGoBrandon

Jobs and wages are up

Inflation…Up!

Chairman mao’s chair 👀

600,000 is progress, 194,000 is failure.

No do the numbers vs expected job growth

Good thing we cut unemployment and forced millions into poverty for no reason

Why would they add jobs when they can’t fill current vacancies?

No. It’s all still 💩.

Delusional. Let’s go Brandon!!

Build back better 🔥👍

Why people aren't working.

Start paying livable wages…..

Quit giving out free money!!

But Biden said...🙄

'jobs' are not the thing. Jobs are supposed to be the thing that gets you to the thing. We need stats on how many children are in poverty if we want an index of our economy.

Ice cream all around!

Great job Joe!!!!!

One of the reasons, we immigrants, majority women of color, are forced to quit our jobs due to USCIS processing delays. No fault from our side.H4EAD H4EADdelays

How many moms can’t afford the higher priced day care with stagnant wages? More women left the workforce than men. How many disabled can’t afford to risk infection with the delta variant? Ppl on immunosuppressants are still vulnerable with a booster shot. UBI wasn’t the problem

I see hiring jobs all over.

As the military told me for 22 years you have a choice the shot or find another job. I mean this is nothing new just more people feel entitled. Mandates But do not worry the same people will tell you what to do with your body but just not their own! prolife

Why do you keep increasing expectations when the actual numbers have been just under 200,000 fairly consistently Seem like bad estimations, but consistent growth.

Uncertainty…plain and simple. Especially from the U.S. Congress

Wait, didn't people say that the Unemployment extended benefits were keeping everyone from going back to work

Rubbish!. Must be Brexit to blame 😂

People living off unemployment end it then you'll see hirings increase. bc people will have no choice but to get a job. when you pay people to sit on their ass while money is coming in you'll never see the economy come back. Also make it easier to hire people F*** experience.

How much did wages increase by?

More damning for POTUS and HouseDemocrats for not extending unemployment benefits for the millions that fell off the cliff in September.

I dont get it, why is the other 3 quarter not employed

Keep voting democrat

Do you guarantee Australians that the vaccine is 100% safe? No... Is it 100% effective? Does it prevent infection? No😑 استجواب بشأن اللقاحات

Maybe because the demon crashed in Santa Santa commonest America I can't nobody hit hardest cuz nobody's going to take your poisonous vaccine I said nobody wants to take your poison this vaccine they try to take Nature's fruits and vegetables and vitamins. They can't get hired
