BLS Employment Situation In December 2025 And Reading Past the Noise The unemployment rate is just unemployed divided by the labor force. In December, the number of unemployed fell by 278k, while employment rose 232k and the labor force slipped 46k. That combination mechanically pushes the rate down (from 4.5% to 4.4%). The “improvement” is mostly a numerator story (fewer counted as unemployed) with a small assist from the denominator (a slightly smaller labor force). Then read the footnotes (where the real story lives) Two things matter here if you’re being skeptical… • Seasonal adjustment got revised. BLS updated seasonal factors and revised household survey history. Notably, November’s unemployment rate was revised down (4.6 to 4.5). So part of the drop people see is revision plus seasonality, not some dramatic new shift in December. • This is household survey territory, it’s noisy. BLS basically tells you this in the technical note: the monthly change in the unemployment rate has a confidence interval on the order of ±0.2 percentage point. A 0.1 move is not a clean signal. It’s a watch it, not a declare it. If You’re Hunting Recession Fingerprints, Don’t Stare At U-3 The recessionary tells in this report aren’t the headline rate, they’re the quality and persistence underneath it… • Underemployment is elevated. People working part time for economic reasons are 5.3M, and that’s up 980k over the year. That’s employers and workers meeting each other at the margin, not in confident full time hiring. • Hidden slack is growing. People not in the labor force who currently want a job are 6.2M, up 684k over the year. That’s the quiet way labor markets weaken: more people want work, but they’re not counted in U-3 because they aren’t “actively”searching in the last 4 weeks. • Long term unemployment is creeping. Long term unemployed are 1.9M, up 397k over the year, and they’re 26% of all unemployed. That’s a classic late cycle deterioration: hiring slows, and unemployment becomes stickier. • Broader measures still look worse than a year ago. Even though they improved a bit in December, U-6 is 8.4% (vs 7.6% a year ago), and U-4/U-5 follow the same better this month, worse over the year pattern. The Payroll Survey Is Waving A Bigger Red Flag Than The Unemployment Rate Payrolls were +50k and BLS basically says you can’t hang your hat on that month to month: the confidence band for monthly payroll change is large enough that +50k can still be no change statistically. The more important tells… • The 3 month average payroll change is negative (about ‑22k). That’s stall speed. • Revisions went the wrong way. October and November were revised down (combined ‑76k). In turning points, revisions often betray the initial optimism. • Sector mix looks defensive. Gains are concentrated in food services, health care, social assistance while retail trade lost 25k and areas like transport and warehousing and temp help are weak. That’s households still spending, but the goods and credit cycle is tightening. •Hours are slipping. The workweek edged down, and the aggregate hours index fell. In real downturns, employers usually cut hours first, then heads. This is the early part of that movie. The Outlier I’d Circle In Red Ink Federal government employment down 277k since January (‑9.2%) is a huge swing and the report explicitly notes that people on paid leave or ongoing severance can still be counted as employed in the establishment survey. Essentially some labor market pain can get time shifted in how it shows up. My View The unemployment rate didn’t really improve it slipped inside a noisy, revision heavy month and doesn’t change the macro picture. The signal is underneath where job growth is stalling, hours are rolling over, and underemployment and long term unemployment are rising. That’s usually what shows up before the headline rate breaks.

Deeply stagflationary. The latest ISM Services report was a clear display of the Fed’s predicament. The prices paid component is now pushing toward the 70 handle, while employment has dropped well below 50. And remember, this reflects services, not goods. On the goods side — which commodity prices help illustrate — inflationary pressures continue to build and accelerate.
