165,000 vs. 65,000: The “good” in the jobs report, and the “bad” hidden in U-6
$BNB $SOL
The October jobs report showed 165,000 new jobs, against expectations of 65,000—about five standard deviations above forecasts and beyond the upper end of every institution’s forecast range. August and September were revised up by a combined 84,000. The unemployment rate fell from 4.2% to 4.1%, while hourly earnings rose 0.4% month over month, the largest monthly increase since November 2025.
But the same report contained another set of figures: the number of people forced to work part-time for economic reasons jumped by 339,000 in a single month, reaching 4.84 million; the broader U-6 unemployment rate rose to 7.9%; and the median duration of unemployment climbed to 11.9 weeks, its longest since 2021.
Headline employment is strong, but underlying labor underutilization is worsening. ** The Fed is focused on inflation, and markets are trading on the odds of a rate hike, but the real significance of this report is that the number of new jobs is strong while their quality is weak. A labor market that “doesn’t need Fed support” and one still relying on part-time work to absorb spare labor at month’s end can exist at the same time.
