The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday that nonfarm payroll jobs increased by 517,000 in January, far exceeding the expected 185,000 and nearly doubling the 260,000 recorded in December. The unemployment rate in the United States is now at its lowest level since 1969, at 3.4%.

The increase in job creation, along with strong data from the United States’ services sector, are both signs of a healthy economy, but investors interpreted the figures as evidence of stubbornly high inflation, which could prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.

The aggressive rate increases implemented by the Federal Reserve in the United States last year appear to be having the desired effect on inflation. The consumer price index in the United States rose 6.5% year on year in December, down from 7.1% in November and the largest monthly decline since April 2020.

Interest rates in the United States are currently at 4.5% to 4.75%, the highest in 15 years, and Fed officials have repeatedly stated that rates could be raised to as high as 5% to bring inflation back down to 2%.
