Economists expect the U.S. government to revise job‑growth figures downward by as much as one million positions for the year ending in March. The adjustment would indicate that employment was weaker than previously reported, even before recent tariff‑driven uncertainty. Analysts attribute the slowdown to tighter immigration policies, rising automation, and businesses holding back on hiring. The revision will be based on more complete unemployment‑insurance payroll data.
