The United States added a disappointing 29,000 jobs in September, while unemployment ticked up to 4.2%, according to new labor figures. The weak numbers are fueling concern about the health of the US economy, with commentators tying the slowdown to Trump administration policies, tariffs, inflation pressures and rising cost-of-living worries, and some warning of a possible recession.
Why now: Fresh jobs data came in far weaker than expected, raising alarms about the economic direction under current policy.
