Jan. 9 — In his latest "Fed Whispers" piece, Nick Timiraos noted that tonight’s December jobs report gives Fed officials plenty of reason to keep a wait-and-see stance at this month’s meeting. Nonfarm payrolls rose by just 50,000, while the three-month private hiring average fell to 29,000 — the second-lowest pace of the year. This sluggish job growth underscores the 2025 labor market dynamic of "slow hires, slow fires." However, the drop in the unemployment rate has temporarily eased extreme worries about a worsening labor market — concerns that prompted the Fed to cut rates at three straight meetings. The report has solidified market expectations the Fed will hold steady at its Jan. 27-28 meeting, but weak hiring data also ensures the debate over the labor market’s health is far from over.
