U.S. jobs report: February payrolls drop 92,000 amid slowdown

7. März 2026

Von KI berichtet

The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February 2026 employment report revealed a 92,000 decline in nonfarm payrolls—the second-worst monthly drop in three years—reversing January's revised 126,000 gain and extending the slowdown from December's 50,000 increase. Released March 7, the data showed unemployment rising 0.1 percentage point in a low-hiring, low-firing labor market.

This downturn heightens uncertainty in the economic and policy landscape, contrasting with recent recovery signals and complicating labor market assessments. The report underscores persistent employment challenges despite some stability.
