US adds more jobs in September

The labour market has remained resilient, despite challenges, as hiring continues to grow, supported by a rise in the labour supply.

The US labour market showed strength in September, with the country adding 254,000 jobs, according to the latest data released by the Labour Department.

This is a notable increase from August, which saw 159,000 jobs added after revisions. The unemployment rate also dropped slightly to 4.1%, down from 4.2% in August.

A surge in immigration has contributed to this, while layoffs have stayed low, helping to boost consumer spending, a key driver of the economy.
