I show after revisions down, 2024 was still 168,000 jobs added per month. Either way, a helleva a lot better than Trump's first 17 months in office.

In 2024, the U.S. economy added just over 2 million nonfarm payroll jobs in total, with monthly gains averaging around 168,000. Following annual benchmark revisions by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2024 hiring estimates were significantly reduced, making it the slowest year for employment growth since 2020.
