The reported US job numbers for October and November 2025 are likely to be revised downward significantly, potentially by as much as 60,000 jobs per month, according to Jerome Powell.
"Most likely they're going to be revised downward and most likely heavily. As a matter of fact, even Jerome Powell, who's the chair of the Federal Reserve, recently said that most likely these job figures are being drastically overstated. Powell said that he suspects that the job numbers are overstated by as much as 60,000 jobs per month."
