Employers added 254,000 jobs in September, blowing away forecasts and reversing a slowdown in hiring that had prompted the Federal Reserve to make a jumbo rate cut at its meeting last month.

Economists had forecast 140,000 new jobs, according to financial data provider FactSet.

The unemployment rate inched down to 4.1%, versus 4.2% in the prior month.

    It’s an extremely niche job and I assume the business owner is just completely oblivious to current wage expectations. It’s the kind of thing where you would probably have an old timer and an apprentice for an extremely large geographic area.

      niche and low pay? must be delusional owner lol but older ones don’t understand new market and you are prolly right abou some old timer enabling it.

      but under these facts, owner will have to adjust. if job requires skills, owner must pay!

        It’s highly likely that they are not charging customers enough either.

          Maybe, maybe not.

          But why should a worker worry about owner’s business model. I think worker should start thinking more like owner, ie owner of their labour…
