On Thursday, One America News<\/a> posted an article about the latest unemployment figures.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Fewer people applied for U.S. unemployment benefits last week, as U.S. jobless claims remain at historically low levels and most Americans enjoy job security.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Labor Department said Thursday that 197,000 people applied for unemployment checks last week, the fewest since mid-July and down from a revised 198,000 the week before. The four-week average of claims, which smooths out week-to-week ups and downs, fell to 202,250 last week from 204,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Claims for jobless benefits are a proxy for layoffs, and economists watch them because they can be a sign of where the job market is headed. So far this year, claims have mostly stayed below 220,000 \u2014 historically low.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American job market has remained sturdy despite higher energy prices that have squeezed businesses and consumers since the fighting with Iran began Feb. 28.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

So far this year, employers \u2014 companies, government agencies and nonprofits \u2014 have been adding an average of 80,000 jobs a month, including a surprising 162,000 in August. That is an improvement on a dismal 2025 when monthly job creation averaged 9,700 as high interest rates and President Donald Trump\u2019s unpredictable trade policies discouraged hiring.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Labor Department will release the jobs report for September next week. It\u2019s expected to show that employers added 52,500 jobs and that the unemployment rate remained low at 4.1%, according to a survey of forecasters by the data firm FactSet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hiring remains well below the 166,000 monthly jobs created, on average, in 2023 and 2024, and the 491,000 a month recorded during the 2021-2022 hiring boom that followed COVID-19 lockdowns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally speaking, the economy is doing much better than the mainstream media’s reporting indicates. See article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
