America\u2019s employers added just 12,000 jobs in October, a total that economists say was held down by\u00a0the effects of strikes and hurricanes<\/span>\u00a0that left many workers temporarily off payrolls. The report provided a somewhat blurry view of the job market at the end of a presidential race that has pivoted heavily on voters\u2019\u00a0feelings about the economy<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last month\u2019s hiring gain was down significantly from the 223,000 jobs that were added in September. But economists have estimated that Hurricanes Helene and Milton, combined with strikes at Boeing and elsewhere, had the effect of\u00a0pushing down net job growth<\/a><\/span>\u00a0by tens of thousands of jobs in October.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s report from the Labor Department also showed that the unemployment rate remained at 4.1% last month. The low jobless rate suggests that the labor market is still fundamentally healthy, if not as robust as it was early this year. Combined with an inflation rate that has tumbled from its 2022 peak to\u00a0near pre-pandemic levels<\/a><\/span>, the overall economy appears to be on solid footing on the eve of Election Day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The government did not estimate how many jobs were likely removed temporarily from payrolls last month. But economists have said they think the storms and strikes caused up to 100,000 jobs to be dropped. Reflecting the impact of the strikes, factories shed 46,000 positions in October.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a cautionary sign for future hiring, though, temporary job placement firms lost 49,000 jobs last month. Companies often take on temporary workers before committing to full-time employees. On the other hand, healthcare companies added 52,000 jobs in October, and state and local governments tacked on 39,000.<\/p>\n

The employment report for October also revised down the government\u2019s estimate of the job gains in August and September by a combined 112,000, indicating that the labor market wasn\u2019t quite as robust then as initially thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big one-off shocks that struck the economy in October make it impossible to know whether the job market was changing direction in the month,\u2019\u2019 Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, wrote in a commentary. \u201cBut the downward revisions to job growth through September show it was cooling before these shocks struck.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Still, economists have noted that the United States has the strongest of the world\u2019s most advanced economies, one that has proved surprisingly durable despite the pressure of high interest rates. This week, for example, the government estimated that the economy expanded at a\u00a0healthy 2.8% annual rate<\/a><\/span>\u00a0last quarter, with consumer spending helping drive growth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yet as voters choose between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, large numbers of Americans have said they are\u00a0unhappy with the state of the economy<\/a><\/span>. Despite the plummeting of inflation, many people are exasperated by high prices, which surged during the recovery from the pandemic recession and remain about 20% higher on average than they were before inflation began accelerating in early 2021.<\/p>\n

With inflation having significantly cooled, the Fed is set to cut its benchmark interest rate next week for a second time and likely again in December. The Fed\u2019s 11 rate hikes in 2022 and 2023 managed to help slow inflation without tipping the economy into a recession. A series of Fed rate cuts should lead, over time, to lower borrowing rates for consumers and businesses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the meantime, there have been signs of a slowdown in the job market. This week, the Labor Department reported that employers posted\u00a07.4 million job openings<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in September. Though that is still more than employers posted on the eve of the 2020 pandemic, it amounted to the fewest openings since January 2021.<\/p>\n

And 3.1 million Americans\u00a0quit their jobs<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in September, the fewest in more than four years. A drop in quits tends to indicate that more workers are losing confidence in their ability to land a better job elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Even so, with the unemployment rate and the number of people seeking unemployment aid each week still uncommonly low, Americans as a whole continue to enjoy unusual job security<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe cooling of the jobs market is still ongoing,\u2019\u2019 said Sarah House, senior economist at Wells Fargo. \u201cOverall, the jobs market it\u2019s not falling apart, but it\u2019s too early to say that conditions have stabilized.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

For employers, a softer job market is easing the labor shortages that left many of them struggling to find and keep workers over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Jon Abt, co-president of Abt Electronics in Chicago, said it has become somewhat easier to hire, and his company has felt less pressure to raise wages this year. Still, finding qualified installers and service technicians remains a challenge.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The electronics retailer, which employs 1,750, including 200 part-timers, runs its own training program, works with trade schools to find workers and also receives applicants by referral. If the job market deteriorates further, Abt said, \u201cit will be easier to find quality people we are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n
