“Today’s report shows a bounce back from last month’s decline, bouncing back to essentially the same level of employment we reported for July 2022. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.4 percent for the third month in a row, but this happened despite an increase in the labor force participation rate from 60.3 to 60.6 percent as nearly 10,000 more people were working or looking for work in September,” said David Schmidt, Chief Economist.
