December Jobs Report Shows Weakest Growth Since 2020
# Podcast Episode Summary
**December Jobs Report Reveals Labor Market Slowdown**
The December 2025 jobs report shows America's labor market cooling significantly as we enter 2026. With only 50,000 jobs added last month—below the 73,000 expected—and just 584,000 for the full year, 2025 marks the weakest employment growth since 2020. While unemployment dipped to 4.4%, the underlying story is more complex: retail and manufacturing shed thousands of positions, with many large employers implementing hiring freezes. On the positive side, leisure, hospitality, and healthcare sectors added jobs, and wages grew 3.8% year-over-year. Host Morgan Riley breaks down what these numbers mean for workers and whether we're facing a temporary slowdown or something more sustained.
