The
US added 119,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in September 2025, surpassing economists'
expectations, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%. The report was released
on November 20, 2025, nearly seven weeks late due to a government shutdown,
which also caused revisions to July and August's employment figures. Key
sectors for job growth included health care and social assistance, leisure and
hospitality, and government, while transportation and warehousing, professional
and business services, and manufacturing saw job losses.
