December Jobs Report Shows Weakest Growth Since 2020

What this episode covers

# Podcast Episode Summary **December Jobs Report Reveals Labor Market Slowdown** The December 2025 jobs report shows America's labor market cooling significantly as we enter 2026. With only 50,000 jobs added last month—below the 73,000 expected—and just 584,000 for the full year, 2025 marks the weakest employment growth since 2020. While unemployment dipped to 4.4%, the underlying story is more complex: retail and manufacturing shed thousands of positions, with many large employers implementing hiring freezes. On the positive side, leisure, hospitality, and healthcare sectors added jobs, and wages grew 3.8% year-over-year. Host Morgan Riley breaks down what these numbers mean for workers and whether we're facing a temporary slowdown or something more sustained. **Want more insightful analysis on the economy and market trends?** Visit https://www.quiet This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
