The delayed September jobs report, released nearly seven weeks late, showed U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 119,000 and the unemployment rate edged up to 4.4% as the labor force expanded by 470,000; average hourly earnings rose 0.2% month‑over‑month and 3.8% year‑over‑year. July and August payrolls were revised down by a combined 33,000, health care led job gains while manufacturing and federal employment fell, markets closed lower on the news, and the BLS said it will not publish a full October report but will fold select October inputs into the November jobs report due Dec. 16.
