The latest U.S. total employment in Q3 2026 was 162,667 thousand, a slight decrease of 133,000 from the previous value of 162,800 thousand, indicating a temporary cooling of employment in early summer. However, the subsequent August nonfarm payrolls significantly exceeded market expectations, reflecting that overall labor demand remains tight and further reducing the urgency for the Federal Reserve to implement drastic interest rate cuts.
