I/ Overview: - U.S. inflation has significantly moderated, reaching 2.5%, and is approaching the Fed’s target of 2%. As a result, the central bank's focus has shifted toward labor market dynamics, following a period of slowing job growth and a rising unemployment rate, which increased from 3.4% to 4.2% over the past year.

- Hiring momentum has slowed, with the hiring rate—measured as hires as a percentage of total employment—retreating to 3.5%. Excluding the COVID-19 pandemic period, this is a level last seen in 2014.

- Despite the softening labor market, most indicators suggest it remains fundamentally stable. Firstly, the labor force participation rate has held steady at 62.7% as of August. The prime-age participation rate (ages 25-54) remains strong, hovering near its highest level since 2001 at 83.9%.
