USA Jobs Shock - Joe Blogs

The US jobs market is far weaker than the headline numbers suggest.

While the unemployment rate sits at 4.4%, the latest revisions reveal something far more troubling:
👉 The US lost jobs overall in the final quarter of 2025.

A sharp downward revision to October means job losses now more than wipe out gains in November and December — turning Q4 into a net loss of employment.

At the same time:
• The employment rate has fallen to just 59.7%, the lowest level since 2016
• Fewer Americans are actually working
• More people are leaving the labor force altogether

This video breaks down:
• Why revisions matter more than headlines
• The difference between unemployment, employment, and participation
• Where jobs are being lost — construction, retail, manufacturing
• Why this looks like a jobless expansion
• And whether AI and automation are allowing growth without hiring

The US economy may still be growing — but the jobs market is quietly cracking.
