🐋 WHALE WATCH: DATABASE UPDATE: The US just recorded its worst year for hiring since 2003 (excluding recessions).
Newly released BLS benchmark revisions reveal the US added only 181k jobs in all of 2025—down nearly 70% from previous estimates.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 2025 was a "lost year" for American workers.
🔹 Hiring was concentrated almost entirely in Healthcare.
🔹 2026 starting strong (+130k in Jan), but the 2025 "hangover" is real.
The data is catching up to the vibes. Thoughts ?(Whale Factor)
