Surging job market could prove costly for households, businesses as odds of quick rate cuts fade
SUMMARY: U.S. job growth surged in December with an addition of 256,000 jobs, pushing unemployment down to 4.1%. This upbeat labor market contrasts sharply with expectations of recession and indicates the economy is rebounding post-COVID. The Federal Reserve, facing persistent inflation and high interest rates, may hold off on further rate cuts, impacting borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. Despite fewer jobs created than in previous years, average wages rose 3.9% year-over-year. While the economy maintains a solid pace, challenges remain, such as rising prices and labor shortages in various sectors, highlighting mixed sentiments among Americans regarding economic recovery.
