US Private Sector Adds 90,000 Jobs in September, Wage Growth Remains Solid
US private-sector employment increased by 90,000 jobs in September, marking the strongest growth in three months, driven mainly by education, health care, leisure, hospitality, construction, and manufacturing sectors. Wage growth remained solid, with workers changing jobs seeing higher pay increases than those staying put, though base wages still lag behind inflation. The stable labor market supports the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate hike and its focus on controlling inflation. Official government employment data is expected soon.
