The US economy added 256,000 jobs in December, slashing unemployment to 4.1%. Alexandra Canal and Madison Mills appear on Morning Brief with Brad Smith and Seana Smith to break down the details.
Healthcare led the jobs report with 46,000 new jobs added, driven by home healthcare, nursing and care facilities, and hospitals. The surge in healthcare employment is largely attributed to its shifts and structural changes post-pandemic that bolstered the sector.
Private payrolls, which added 223,000 jobs (excluding government roles), are also discussed, though there is a growing concern about impending job cuts.
