How does recent growth compare to recent years?

Economy added 0.36 million jobs over 12 months to Jan 2026.

Deceleration to slowest outside pandemic in many years.

As expected, the annual benchmark revisions sharply lowered estimates of job growth in earlier months. BLS now says we added just 181,000 jobs in 2025, down from the earlier estimate of 584,000. #NumbersDay

I have heard *multiple* firsthand accounts from Minneapolis that things have NOT improved, rather the techniques used are becoming swifter and sneakier. This continued crises on the ground is unsustainable and not garnering continued media attention.
