U.S. Adds 119,000 Jobs in September, Fed Rate Cut Expectations Weaken

【Key Focus: Due to the addition of 119,000 jobs in September, the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates has decreased】

Washington time November 20, 2025, after the U.S. Department of Labor released the employment report for September, Associated Press in a press release stated:

Strong job growth may reduce the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates. Many Federal Reserve officials have already leaned towards not planning a third rate cut this year at next month's meeting. The rationale for lowering borrowing costs was mainly based on concerns that the job market might deteriorate rapidly. However, employers added 119,000 jobs in September, which, although a small increase, showed a clear improvement after the slowdown in the summer, following layoffs by employers in June and August.
