U.S. added 143,000 jobs in January, unemployment rate dips to 4%
SUMMARY: In January, the U.S. added 143,000 jobs, below the predicted 169,000, but the unemployment rate fell to 4%, better than expected.

Hiring rates are slowing, but the job market remains stable with positive executive sentiments regarding potential business improvements from tax cuts and deregulation.

Despite challenges, overall employment indicators remain strong with low unemployment rates.
