Analysis
U.S. nonfarm payrolls surged more than expected in December, adding 256,000 jobs, far exceeding the market forecast of 160,000. The unemployment rate also fell to 4.1%, lower than the expected 4.2%. The data suggests that the U.S. labor market remains strong, with businesses continuing to hire despite recent economic pressures from inflation and rising interest rates. This provides support for U.S. economic growth.
