Employment gains continued in the health care and government sectors, while temporary help services experienced job losses and manufacturing employment declined due to strike activity. Notably, Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which struck the southeastern U.S. causing severe damage and evacuations, may have affected employment figures and data collection, potentially distorting the month's labor statistics.
Despite this additional warning, the BLS also notes that it is not possible to quantify the impact of the hurricanes on employment changes. Furthermore, the hurricanes did not have a noticeable effect on the unemployment rate. Following the data release, we observed a sharp decline in the value of the dollar, which dropped by 0.35%. On the other hand, stock indices and cryptocurrencies rebound. The market is now pricing in a higher likelihood of rate cuts in 2025, including a 25 basis point cut at the November and December meetings.
