Jefferies Senior U.S. Economist Thomas Simons joins Market Domination to analyze these figures. Simons attributes the job gains largely to seasonal adjustments, such as teachers returning to work in the fall. He notes a shift in hiring patterns compared to pre-pandemic times, explaining that seasonal upticks in job hiring has seen fewer individuals being released than pre-pandemic, which "ends up having an outsized impact on the headline print."
