【スナックシマハイ/月末雑談】9月もがんばったみんなたちとシマハイの宴会場！！【 #シマハイシン /シマハイイロギツネ】 https://youtube.com/live/yh2JvB9AyW8?si=nBND3hP3uLdtxGhY

One month ago, before that catastrophic August jobs print (and first negative monthly print in years) and before the devastating 911K negative payrolls revision, we looked at the just https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/labor-market-crosses-critical-threshold-first-time-2021-there-are-more-unemployed-job

and correctly predicted the September rate cut (and also subsequent easing). Of note, the report showed not only that job openings plunged and came below the lowest estimate, but that for the first time since April 2021, there were more unemployed workers than job openings.

Fast forward to today when the already ugly labor market picture got even uglier, when moments ago the BLS reported the latest, August, JOLTs report (which may very well be the last Federal labor market report for a long time once the government shuts down at midnight tonight) and which showed that job openings remained depressed, if rising modestly from the upward revised July print of 7.208MM (up from 7.181MM), to 7.227MM, and beating muted estimates of 7.2MM.

?itok=sh1oXKfh

The number of job openings decreased in construction (-115,000) and in federal government (-61,000).

?itok=bIfzgfRL

Indeed, as shown in the chart below, the best news about today's report is that ahead of the government shutdown which will lead to mass government worker layoffs, the number of government job openings was already the lowest since Feb 2021.

?itok=1qdVsPFP

In the context of the broader jobs report - which may or may not print this Friday - the most important data was what we predicted ahead of today's JOLTS report, namely that the number of unemployed workers is now greater than job openings.

JOLTS to show the most number of unemployed vs job openings since March 2021 as labor market becomes most demand constrained in 4 years

And sure enough, after four years of the US labor market dodging the bullet, its luck has finally run out because whereas in June the labor market was still supply-constrained, when there were 342K more openings than jobs in the US, in July we are finally back to demand constrained, with 28k fewer job openings than unemployed workers, the first negative print this series since April 2021. One month later, it's gotten much worse, with 157K more unemployed than job openings, the highest differential since March 2021.

?itok=GYYfB7LN

As https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-recession-not-imminent-says-new-indicator

, The US never entered a recession in a period when there were more job openings than unemployed workers (i.e. the job market was supply constrained). As of this moment, we know it is no longer supply constrained and is instead demand constrained.

?itok=Lysp2WMU

Said otherwise, in August the number of job openings to unemployed dropped further below 1.0x, after spending the past 4 years above it.

?itok=VgWrTuRY

While the job openings data was ugly and potentially the first harbinger of the coming recession - things were even uglier below the surface, starting with hiring where the number of new hires tumbled by 114K to 5.126MM the lowest since June 2024, while at the same time the number of people quitting their jobs - also known as the take this job and shove it indicator - also slumped by 75K to 3.091MM, the lowest of 2025.

?itok=hAnNsD3i

How to make sense of this ongoing deterioration in the labor market?

Well, as we https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/labor-market-crosses-critical-threshold-first-time-2021-there-are-more-unemployed-job

, it likely has to do with the DOL - which recently lost its previous commissioner after Trump fired her two months ago - starting to factor in the collapse in the shadow labor market, the one dominated by illegal aliens, and the replacement of illegals with legal, domestic workers which in turn is pushing the labor market into a demand-constrained imbalance. Last month we said "the question is how long until this appears in much weaker than expected payrolls prints" and we got the answer just two days later when we got a truly catastrophic  jobs report, which was then cemented by the full year revisions on Sept 9 which we correctly predicted would show "another 600K-900K in jobs that were never there and were simply imagined by the Biden DOL, in the process greenlighting not only a 25bps rate cut, but potentially a jumbo 50bps... just like exactly one year ago."

It ended up being 911K, but what is more important for today is that today's JOLTS report was not terrible but it certainly was ugly enough to ensure that the Fed cuts in three weeks time if the government shuts down tonight and is closed indefinitely, preventing the Sept jobs report from being published this Friday.

https://modernity.news/2025/09/29/watch-fetterman-asked-if-he-will-switch-parties-after-repeated-swipes-at-democrats/

Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was asked Sunday if he is considering switching parties to become a Republican after he once again spoke out against Democrats’ extreme rhetoric, waring that it “will foment more extreme outcomes.”

?itok=JVlWDzEZ

As we have highlighted, Fetterman has spoken out against Democrat Party lines on several topics, and in particular criticised the refusal of many on the left to condemn political violence.

On Sunday Fetterman shared a screenshot of an Axios article https://www.axios.com/2025/09/28/left-wing-terrorism-far-right-violence-research

“Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high,” which covers a recent study from the nonpartisan Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) that concluded that although right-wing violence has historically outnumbered left-wing terrorism, the pattern has now flipped.

He accompanied the post with the caption “Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes,” adding “Political violence is always wrong — no exceptions.”

“We must all turn the temperature down,” Fetterman added.

Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes.

Then in an appearance on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Fetterman stated “If you want a Democrat that’s gonna call people Nazis or fascist, all these things, I’m NOT gonna be that guy!”

Asked by Bartiromo if he would consider switching parties because of the extremism on the left, Fetterman responded “No, I’m not going to switch, but I’m just going to be an independent voice in the Democratic Party. I’m not going to be afraid if people, if there are groups attacking a Democrat, you know the last one in Pennsylvania, to me that’s part of the problem in our party.”

🚨 JUST IN – SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN (D-PA): "If you want a Democrat that's gonna call people Nazis or fascist, all these things, I'm NOT gonna be that guy!"

Can every Democrat say this, please? https://t.co/v4eRHtUKbx

Your Democrat colleagues have mastered the routine. Spend every day inciting violence and then spend 10 minutes calling for the temperature to be turned down after something horrible happens. Then immediately go back to inciting violence.https://t.co/e5D1J1cHgu

— MAZE (@mazemoore) https://twitter.com/mazemoore/status/1972352824056189010?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Fetterman also repeated his call to Democrats to avoid shutting down the government, noting “I am ALWAYS going to vote against those things! I am going to condemn it. ESPECIALLY with the kind of chaos we are facing after (Charlie) Kirk.”

“I think shutting our government down is the wrong thing. It’s the wrong time,” he reiterated.

While some have applauded Fetterman, others point out that until he stops being a Democrat, he’s making no difference.

It’s nice of https://twitter.com/SenFettermanPA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

to say this, but ACTIONS speak louder than words. Until he leaves the Democrat party, he 💯supports what they’re doing.

Call it guilty by association, if you please.

He always says the right things but then votes with the democrats.

Until that changes he is no better.

His words are great.

He can say he “speaks” independently.

But he votes party line regardless of the damage.

Talk is cheap

— Cash Loren (@CashLorenShow) https://twitter.com/CashLorenShow/status/1972311662947688890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

He’s only saying this because he’s up for reelection next year. Change parties or shut up.

Fetterman knows PA is going Red like Ohio so he is hedging for re-election.

Check his voting record – 95%+ with Chuck Schumer!
