911,000 Downward Job Revision (Sept. 9th, 2025): Is it Time to Update Your Resume?

A recent revision in the  BLS Job report September 9th, 2025 showed a decline of 911,000 non-farm payroll jobs, signaling a weaker-than-expected job market. This could add pressure to lower interest rates, but in the meantime, it may also mean tougher competition for available positions.

Is It Time to Update Your Resume?

Now may be a good time to refresh your resume, strengthen your skills, and think strategically about which jobs are likely to grow or decline in the coming years. One way to do this is by paying attention to economic data and job trend reports. CEO outlooks, investment plans, and hiring intentions can also provide clues about the types of skills that will be in demand.

If you identify gaps between your current abilities and market needs, you can take steps to close them—whether by gaining new experience, pursuing training, or continuing your education. Having a clear direction in your career will help you adapt to changes and stay competitive. What you want to avoid is waiting until it’s too late and realizing your skills are outdated. Today’s workforce requires continuous updating and lifelong learning to thrive.
