WASHINGTON (November 20, 2025) – The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its’ September jobs report. The delayed report shows the U.S. added 119,000 jobs with most gains coming from the health care and service sectors. Manufacturing and transportation saw significant job losses. Additionally, employers across technology, retail, and logistics announced plans to cut tens of thousands of jobs.
