US job gains surged unexpectedly last month as unemployment slipped to its lowest rate in more than five decades, government data showed Friday, indicating strength in the labour market despite efforts to ease economic activity.&nbsp;This could prove concerning to policymakers, with risks that elevated wages could feed into inflation.

While the US central bank has tempered its aggressive campaign to rein in prices on signs that the world's biggest economy is cooling, the latest figures could steer it towards more interest rate hikes than expected.

The United States defied expectations to add 5,17,000 jobs in January, nearly double the December figure, after a five-month slowdown in hiring, said the Labour Department on Friday.&nbsp;

"Job growth was widespread, led by gains in leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, and health care," the report added.

Employment in manufacturing and construction showed resilience as well, despite a slowdown in activity in both sectors. The jobless rate edged down to 3.4 per cent, a level last seen in 1969, according to government figures.

But wage growth slowed slightly with average hourly earnings rising by 0.3 per cent to $33.03, down from December's 0.4 per cent increase.

Taken together, these figures suggest the labour market remains too hot for policymakers, with the hiring figure marking a spike from December's 260,000 number.

US President Joe Biden on Friday cheered the strong job creation since he took office and noted that inflation was still cooling off. He pushed back against critics who, he says, suggest that "the only way to slow down inflation was to destroy jobs".&nbsp;

"Today's data makes crystal clear... these critics and cynics are wrong," he told reporters, though conceding there remains more work to do.

No sign of softening&nbsp;

"The data show the economy is creating jobs at a rapid pace," said Rubeela Farooqi of High Frequency Economics.

Job creation is showing "no sign of softening" she added, despite the Fed's eight consecutive hikes to the benchmark lending rate, aimed at easing demand and bringing down costs.

"Wage growth has slowed, but it has not yet slowed enough for the Fed," added Ian Shepherdson at Pantheon Macroeconomics.

The Federal Reserve has been closely eyeing the jobs market, with labour demand exceeding the supply of available workers and employers keen to retain staff they may have struggled to find during the pandemic.

While unemployment is typically seen to edge up as interest rates rise and borrowing costs go up, the jobless rate has hovered at historically low levels in recent months.

Wages are "still at a high level," Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters on Wednesday.

"They're still at a level that's... well above where they were before the pandemic," he said. "It's going to be reflected in our assessment of the outlook and that will be reflected in our policy over time," he added.

The central bank this week announced a smaller interest rate hike, fueling optimism that the Fed is approaching the end of its cycle of rate increases.

Harder landing

But Friday's data could cast doubt on the situation.

"Without an adjustment in the labour market, the risk is that rates will move higher than anticipated," Farooqi of High Frequency Economics said.

This could have repercussions on other areas, with interest-sensitive sectors such as housing already slumping on higher rates while retail sales have slowed.

"This all increases the chance of a harder landing by mid-year," said Nationwide chief economist Kathy Bostjancic. She expects a moderate recession to start by around mid-year.

Shepherdson of Pantheon Macroeconomics added that "the Fed is more likely than not to hike (rates) in March, though we hope they don't, given the lagged effect of their previous tightenings is still to come."

A repeat of January's surge is unlikely in the coming months, said Ryan Sweet of Oxford Economics, noting that employment growth is often higher than expected in the first month of the year.

"We still expect employment growth to slow markedly as the economy enters a recession in response to the Fed's cumulative rate hikes," he said.

He expects "outright job losses" in the second half of the year with joblessness rising modestly.&nbsp;

US sees surprise surge in hiring, unemployment slips to lowest in over five decades

The Pentagon said on Friday (February 3) that a Chinese balloon was seen flying over Latin America also, a day after a similar balloon was seen <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/beijing-says-suspected-chinese-spy-balloon-in-us-airspace-is-civilian-airship-used-for-research-558615">in the United States</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/beijing-says-suspected-chinese-spy-balloon-in-us-airspace-is-civilian-airship-used-for-research-558615">skies</a>. According to a statement, Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said, "We are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America. We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon." &nbsp;

However, spokesperson Ryder did not specify the balloon's exact location in Latin America, news agency AFP reported.&nbsp;

On Thursday, the Pentagon said it was tracking a Chinese spy balloon flying high over the US. A senior defence official told reporters the balloon was for surveillance. The official added that at the request of President Joe Biden, officials considered shooting the balloon down but concluded doing so would endanger too many people on the ground.&nbsp;

Initially, the Chinese government did not identify the balloon's origins but later admitted the civilian craft was blown off course.&nbsp;

"The airship is from China and is civilian in nature, used for meteorological and other scientific research. Due to the influence of westerly winds and its limited control capability, the airship deviated from its intended course," the foreign ministry of China&nbsp;said in a statement late Friday.&nbsp;

"China regrets that the airship strayed into the United States by mistake due to force majeure. China will continue to maintain communication with the US side to properly handle this accident," it added.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, US State Secretary Antony Blinken postponed his upcoming trip to China as he did not want the balloon issue to dominate his meetings with Chinese officials.&nbsp;

Addressing a joint press conference with South Korean foreign minister Park Jin on Friday, Blinken said that China's decision to fly a balloon over the US was both unacceptable and irresponsible.&nbsp;

"It's a violation of our sovereignty, it's a violation of international law, and it was very important that we, of course, take the actions we did to protect any sensitive information, to protect our people and to make clear to China that, again, this is an unacceptable as well as an irresponsible action," Blinken said, news agency Reuters reported.&nbsp;

"What this has done is created the conditions that undermine the purpose of the trip, including ongoing efforts to build a floor under the relationship and to address a broad range of issues that are of concern to the American people, I believe to the Chinese people, and certainly as well to people around the world. So, we took the step that I announced earlier today in postponing the planned visit for this weekend," he added.&nbsp;

China hits out at American media, politicians over balloon incident

After US, another Chinese balloon seen flying over Latin America: Pentagon

A wildlife group has claimed&nbsp;that a pigeon that was rescued from a park in New York City may have been colored&nbsp;a vibrant pink for a gender reveal party.&nbsp;In Manhattan's Madison Square Park, a young king pigeon with signs of malnutrition was discovered.&nbsp;It was rescued, and the Wild Bird Fund adopted it for treatment.&nbsp;The nonprofit organisation that deals with animal rescue and education stated that it suspected the pigeon had been intentionally dyed.&nbsp;

Wild Bird Fund wrote in a Twitter threat, "As a domestic bird unable to find food in the wild, fly well, or escape predators, this poor kid had it bad enough before being dyed."

"Luckily a kind person rescued him in Madison Square Park, and he's now safely in care."

The group responded to a user who asked the motivation behind such an act by stating that "gender reveal is a theory growing in popularity."

Pregnant couples organise lavish celebrations to reveal the sex of their unborn child before delivery. This practise originated in the US.

There is frequently a ceremony involved, such as cutting a cake or exploding a balloon whose contents will either be blue or pink to announce the child's sex.

Wild Bird Fund told another Twitter user that they would give the pigeon a couple of baths to wash the dye out of the feathers in the hopes that the bird will shed and develop new feathers that would match his original colour, as reported by the BBC.

The Wild Bird Fund organisation claims that it treats more than 7,500 sick, hurt, orphaned animals each year before releasing them to New York City.

A prosecutor in the Tyre Nichols death case has told CNN that up to 20 hours of video footage related to Nichols' beating by policemen and his subsequent death is yet to be released. Shelby County prosecutor Steven Mulroy said that video footage released till now has the 'relevant parts' of the initial stop and beating but the footage yet unreleased may be useful in the investigation process.

The city of Memphis has already released some of the body-camera and surveillance footage but not all videos have been made public yet, says the report.

Tyre Nichols' funeral ceremony took place on Wednesday (February 1). It was attended by US Vice-President Kamala Harris.&nbsp;

During the funeral, civil rights leaders and family members called for an end to recurring police violence against Black Americans.

As they recalled Nichols as a young man who loved photography and skateboarding, and demanded justice for him, they addressed a congregation that included relatives of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, two African Americans whose deaths at the hands of police had sparked protests in 2020.

"We cannot continue to let these people brutalize our kids," said Rodney Wells, Nichols' stepfather.

"This is a family that lost their son and their brother through an act of violence at the hands and the feet of people who had been charged with keeping them safe," Harris said. "Tyre Nichols should have been safe." The Democrat promised to help pass federal legislation to reduce police misconduct.
