Estados Unidos Folha de Pagamento Não-Agrícola

The US economy added 151K jobs in February 2025, up from a downwardly revised 125K in January and compared to forecasts of 160K. Employment trended up in health care (52K), namely ambulatory health care services (26K); financial activities (21K); transportation and warehousing (18K); and social assistance (11K). Meanwhile, federal government employment declined by 10K, already reflecting some of the impact of the DOGE layoffs although the effects of federal spending cuts and tariffs are expected to weigh more on the labor market in the coming months. Job losses also occurred in retail trade (-6K) and employment showed little change in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; construction; manufacturing; wholesale trade; information; professional and business services; leisure and hospitality; and other services.
