The Daily Money: Job growth slows amid inflation and rising interest rates.

Employers added 263,000 jobs in September. But a relatively resilient labor market may spur more interest rate hikes that threaten recession. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

The Daily Money
 
Friday, October 7

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.
