The air is cooling and the leaves are falling, but the labor market is doing anything but. Once again the September labor market report has proved that the number of available jobs is continuing to climb and is hotter than ever.
According to the U.S. Labor Department’s job report for September 2023, employers added 336,000 jobs and the unemployment rate remains at 3.8%. This marks the 33rd month for job growth in the U.S. since 2020.
