How healthy is the US job market? The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its latest jobs report on Friday, showing the United States added disappointing 194,000 jobs last month while announcing that the official unemployment rate fell to 4.8 %, the lowest since its frightening rise to 14.7. % when the Covid-19 pandemic first hit the United States.
