US hiring held firm in December capping weakest year of growth since pandemic

omg what's going on with trump he's all like we're killing it econ wise but in reality labor market's been tanking since he took office and now he breaks protocol and comments before data comes out? that's just sus! economists are like "hold up, prez, let's see some actual growth" not this weak job creation stuff

I gotta feel for the small business owners out there who are really struggling to keep up . With the labor market slowing down, it's gonna be tough for them to find new talent and grow their businesses. I'm hoping the Fed gets it right and lowers interest rates to give 'em a boost . And can we talk about how weird it is that Trump is still trying to spin his economic record? It's like, dude, the data don't lie! Let's just hope the economy stabilizes soon and everyone can start looking forward again .

I'm getting really hyped for the new smartwatch coming out this quarter ! I mean, have you seen the latest design? It's so sleek and minimalist - perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their fitness tracking game . And with the integration of AI-powered health monitoring, I can already imagine how much more accurate and personalized my workouts are going to be . Not to mention the long battery life - I'm talking weeks on a single charge! That's what I call a game-changer .

job growth slowing down? that's not cool at all! 584k jobs added in 2025 vs 2mil in 2024... what's going on? hope federal reserve keeps interest rates low to keep economy stable . don't wanna see unemployment rise again . gotta trust economists on this one

I'm not buying it . 50k new jobs isn't exactly what I'd call a strong showing, especially when you consider it's below expectations. And let's be real, 584k jobs added in 2025 is still way behind the 2 million from last year... sounds like Trump's got some 'splainin' to do . This whole "no hire, no fire" phase just seems like a fancy way of saying things are slowing down and nobody knows what's next . I'm watching this unfold with interest, but for now, I'm keeping my eyes on the data .

I'm getting so over this economic data release delay . Can't they just tell us what's going on already? It's like they're trying to keep us in suspense while we wait for our paychecks . And don't even get me started on Trump's claims about his economic record . I mean, 50k jobs added in Dec? Yeah right! I've seen my own job posting get rejected more times than that this year .

And what's with the "no hire, no fire" phase? Is it really a thing now? That just sounds like corporate speak for "we're not gonna shake things up around here" . Can't they just let people breathe a bit and maybe even raise wages instead of just keeping us stuck in this limbo?

I swear, if I have to read one more statement from White House officials about Trump breaking protocol , I'm gonna lose it . It's like they can't even be bothered to keep track of their own president's actions anymore .

Anyway, economists are warning of a possible rate cut in March? Maybe that's what we need - some actual change around here . Until then, I'll just keep waiting for my paycheck and wondering when things will finally start moving again
