The US added 911,000 fewer jobs than pre­vi­ously thought in the year to March, accord­ing to new offi­cial stat­ist­ics that sug­gest the labour mar­ket in the world’s biggest eco­nomy began cool­ing sharply in 2024.

The fig­ures from the Bur­eau of Labor Stat­ist­ics show national employ­ment in the 12 months to March 2025 was far below levels in its closely watched monthly reports and indic­ate jobs growth began to lose steam in the lat­ter part of Joe Biden’s pres­id­ency.

Yes­ter­day’s revi­sion is the largest on record and roughly halves the 1.8mn job growth fig­ure the agency had pre­vi­ously estim­ated for the year.

The report will be a boost to Pres­id­ent Don­ald Trump, who has argued that his aggress­ive tar­iff and immig­ra­tion policies were not to blame for recent signs of weak­ness in the labour mar­ket.

“These revi­sions sug­gest that jobs momentum is being lost from an even weaker pos­i­tion than ori­gin­ally thought,” said James Knight­ley, chief inter­na­tional eco­nom­ist at ING.

Trump’s admin­is­tra­tion also used the data — which will fur­ther raise pres­sure on the US Fed­eral Reserve to cut interest rates next week — to renew its attacks on Biden.
