It's here! Happy Friday. It's Charisse Jones with the Daily Money headlines to keep you in the know as we head into the weekend. |
Employers are still adding jobs but at a slower pace as high inflation and increasing interest rates take some of the wind out of the economy's sails. |
Employers added 263,000 positions in September and the jobless rate dipped from 3.7% to 3.5%, a 50-year low, according to the Labor Department. But a relatively resilient job market may spur the Fed to do more interest rate hikes that many economists worry could push the U.S. into a recession next year. |
Inflation hits small businesses especially hard |
The number of Americans setting out to start a business hit a record level last year, at 5.4 million, according to a White House announcement in the spring. But inflation is taking a heavy toll on entrepreneurs, according to an August survey by the National Federation of Independent Business. |
Inflation, which has been hovering near a 40-year high, is the top challenge for 29% of small businesses, the survey found. Some are turning to microloans to keep going. |
