Job growth was much stronger than expected in December, possibly providing the Federal Reserve less incentive to cut interest rates this year.

Nonfarm payrolls surged by 256,000 for the month, up from 212,000 in November and above the 155,000 forecast from the Dow Jones consensus, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

The unemployment rate edged down to 4.1%, one-tenth of a point below expectations. An alternative measure that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time positions for economic reasons moved down to 7.5%, a decrease of 0.2 percentage point and the lowest since June 2024.

Stock market futures plunged after the report while Treasury yields soared as traders price in a lower probability of Fed rate cuts this year.

The report brings to a close a year in which employment grew each month, though inconsistently and at times raising questions over whether a recession loomed. However, the final two months showed a labor market still operating at strength as the Fed contemplates its next moves on monetary policy.

One area that Fed officials have stressed to not be a source of inflation is the labor market, and wages grew slightly less than expected.

Average hourly earnings increased 0.3% on the month, which was in line with forecasts, but the 12-month gain of 3.9% was slightly below the outlook and indicative that wage inflation at least is becoming less of a factor. The average work week again held steady at 34.3 hours.

Job growth came from the familiar sources of health care (up 46,000), leisure and hospitality (43,000) and government (33,000).

Retail also saw a sizeable gain, up 43,000 after losing 29,000 in November heading into the holiday shopping season. The sector saw payroll growth of 2.2 million for the full year, down nearly one-third from the 3 million gain in 2023.

Revisions for prior months were less substantial than has been the recent trend. The October count saw an upward change of 7,000 to 43,000, while the November number was cut by 15,000 from the prior estimate.

At their December meeting, Fed officials deemed the labor market mostly healthy though slowing. The Fed voted at the meeting to lower its key borrowing rate by a quarter percentage point while indicating a slower pace of reductions ahead.

Markets expect the Fed to hold pat at the meeting later this month, with futures pricing after the jobs report swinging to the expectation of just one cut this year. Central bankers have expressed concern lately with the pace of inflation, which has held above the Fed’s 2% target largely because of stubbornly high housing costs as well as some goods prices.

The household report, which the BLS uses to calculate the unemployment rate, presented an even stronger jobs picture. That count increased by 478,000 on the month , as the labor force grew by 243,000 and the share of working age people either holding jobs or looking for employment held steady at 62.5%.

Full-time employment increased by 87,000, while part-time workers surged by 247,000. The level of unemployed workers fell by 235,000.

The duration of unemployment edged higher to 23.7 weeks, the highest level since April 2022. However, those reporting out of work for 27 weeks or more declined to 1.55 million, down 103,000.

A fine in any amount will not be punishment.
So I say, give him one hour of community service. One hour where has to wear a hi-res 'Correctional Facility' vest, and is forced to pick up trash on the side of the road, alongside other inmates, while being watched by shotgun-wielding prison guards.

That will just be another photo op and another “martyr” type image that we’ll see on tshirts. Won’t mean anything.

Donald Trump spared jail and fines as he is sentenced in New York to 'unconditional discharge'

Donald Trump appears remotely for a sentencing hearing in front of New York State

Summary
US President-elect Donald Trump has been sentenced to "unconditional discharge" in New York on all counts in the hush-money case

He appeared stony-faced sitting alongside his lawyer via video link, our reporter in court writes

Both sides spoke, with the prosecution starting by requesting no prison, probation or fine - exactly what the judge ruled

Trump told the court this has been a "very terrible experience" while his attorney tells the court the charges should never have been brought

Judge Merchan in the sentencing called it an "extraordinary case" and a paradox with a lot of attention but ordinary in the courtroom

Last May, Trump was convicted on 34 counts relating to hush money paid to adult-film star Stormy Daniels

Paying hush money is not illegal in New York, the charges stem from how Trump reimbursed his lawyer - who paid Daniels

Maybe he'll learn that you can't pay off a prostitute (while married to the current paid hostage) and disguise it as legal fees.

Interesting take. Never heard anyone comparing president to community service, especially when using it to gain wealth. This type of thinking tracks though when you believe using charities and business accounts for personal interests should be legal.
