TOP STORY
The U.S. job market just got a harsh reality check. A stunning revision from the Bureau of Labor Statistics erased 911,000 previously reported jobs — the largest downward adjustment in history.
This massive correction slashed average monthly job growth by more than half, and questions are now swirling about whether the Federal Reserve has been dangerously behind the curve in its policy decisions.
President Donald Trump wasted no time pointing fingers, slamming the Fed and calling their approach “broken,” and demanding immediate rate cuts. So what happens next? Read on to see what this historic revision means for the market, interest rates and your portfolio.

Yesterday: U.S. indexes closed modestly higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow all notching new record highs as investors awaited key inflation reports this week. Year to date, the Dow is up 8%, the S&P 500 has gained 11% and the Nasdaq is up 13%. When it comes to the job market, Wall Street digested a significant downward revision to U.S. payroll figures, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting 911,000 fewer jobs than initially estimated over the past 12 months — well above expectations. The revisions add to the growing datapoints and signals of a softer labor market, reinforcing expectations on Wall Street that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates.

MARKET HISTORY
On This Day In 1910…
General Motors was on the brink of bankruptcy before bankers agreed to loan the company enough funds to avoid collapse, helping GM survive its early years. Nearly 100 years later, GM declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy and needed a government bailout to stay afloat. In 2009, the government took a 60% stake in the company and four years later (December 2013), it sold the last of its shares — taking a $10 million loss in the process. Today, GM has a current market cap of $55 billion.
