The U.S. economy added 194,000 jobs in September 2021, the lowest so far this year and well below forecasts of 500,000. Nonfarm employment has increased by 17.4 million since a recent trough in April 2020 but is down by 5.0 million, or 3.3%, from its pre-pandemic level in February 2020.“Recent employment changes are challenging to interpret, as pandemic-related staffing fluctuations in public and private education have distorted the normal seasonal hiring and layoff patterns,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics said in the release, as quoted on tradingeconomics.While the unemployment rate dropped more than expected to 4.8%, the labor force participation rate also declined to 61.6% from 61.7% in August. The average hourly earnings also grew faster to reach a 4.6% year-over-year rate, or the fastest since February.Below we have highlighted some of these that will likely see smooth trading in the days ahead.ETFs in FocusLeisure and HospitalityIn September, notable job gains (+74000) occurred in leisure and hospitality.
