The three numbers in the claim are real and they all come from the BLS Employment Situation release for September 2026, published Friday October 2, 2026, two days before this post. That release reports nonfarm payrolls up 29,000 in September 2026 and the unemployment rate at 4.2%, up from 4.1% in August 2026. The release states: "The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised down by 31,000, from +21,000 to" a loss of 10,000. August was revised lower to a gain of 133,000 while July switched from a gain to a loss as payrolls fell by 10,000, with the revisions in total showing 60,000 fewer jobs than previously reported.

September 2025 was a different month with different numbers. The BLS release of November 20, 2025 states that total nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 119,000 in September 2025 and the unemployment rate stood at 4.4 percent. That report was released on November 20, 2025, after a nearly seven-week delay due to the federal government shutdown . The unemployment rate climbed from 4.3% to 4.4% in September 2025 . The July and August revisions attached to that 2025 report totalled about 33,000, not 60,000.

On the caption's surrounding framing: the Fed did raise rates roughly two weeks before this post. The FOMC approved the statement by a 12 to 0 vote and decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point , to a target range of 3.75% to 4.00% at the September 15-16, 2026 meeting, its first increase since 2023 . On market reaction, a Schwab market-open note that day said US jobs growth slowed to 29,000 in September and the government reduced its estimate for the prior two reports by a combined 60,000, with lower yields boosting stocks early .
