The US economy added just 29,000 jobs in September, far below expectations of 89,000, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, above the expected 4.1%. August's job figures were also revised down by 29,000, making this the third-weakest jobs report of the year. Critics are citing the weak numbers to question President Trump's claims of a 'golden age' for the American economy.

Why now: The unexpectedly weak jobs figures directly challenge the administration's economic narrative, drawing sharp commentary.
