From bls.gov|Feb 11, 2026|81 commentsTotal nonfarm payroll employment rose by 130,000 in January, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.3 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job gains occurred in health care, social assistance, and construction, while federal government and financial activities lost jobs. This news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures labor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment survey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. For more information about the concepts and statistical methodology used in these two surveys, see the Technical Note.

From kansascityfed.org|Feb 11, 2026|1 commentThank you for joining me today. It is an honor to be in the beautiful state of New Mexico, and in Albuquerque, one of the largest cities in the seven-state region that makes up the Federal Reserve’s Tenth District. The Federal Reserve’s regional structure, with 12 independent and locally rooted district banks spread across the country, is one of the most defining features of the nation’s central bank. These regional banks, including the Kansas City Fed, work alongside the Board of Governors, located in Washington, D.C., to set monetary policy and influence interest rates across the entire economy. This system of regional input in setting monetary policy, which is unique to the United States, ensures that a wide variety of voices and views, including yours, inform some of the most important economic decisions in our country. From Kansas City and our offices in Denver, Omaha, and Oklahoma City, the Bank engages with local communities, listening and collecting insights and data that shape policy. I personally find speaking to individuals about their economic lives to be one of the most enriching parts of my job, and I take every opportunity I can to travel throughout the district. Speaking of travel, I would like to b FED'S SCHMID SAYS APPROPRIATE TO KEEP RESTRICTIVE MONETARY POLICY WITH INFLATION CLOSE TO 3% FED'S SCHMID SAYS NOT SEEING EVIDENCE CURRENT LEVEL OF INTEREST RATES IS RESTRAINING ECONOMY SCHMID: FURTHER FED RATE CUTS COULD ALLOW HIGHER INFLATION TO PERSIST FOR LONGER FED'S SCHMID: PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS COULD ALLOW FASTER GROWTH WITHOUT INFLATION, BUT 'WE ARE NOT THERE YET' - CURRENT INFLATION RATE INDICATES STILL-STRONG DEMAND IS OUTPACING IMPROVEMENTS IN SUPPLY
