GOLDMAN SACHS: U.S. LIKELY LOST 50,000 JOBS IN OCTOBER Goldman Sachs estimates U.S. nonfarm payrolls fell by about 50,000 in October—the largest drop since 2020. Its job-growth tracker slowed to 50,000 from 85,000 in September, with an additional 100,000 jobs cut due to the Trump administration’s deferred-resignation program. The bank noted rising layoffs and weaker labor market indicators. Payroll reports for September and October remain delayed by the government shutdown.(*Walter Bloomberg)
