For much of the past decade, the U.S. economy routinely generated monthly job gains well above 150,000, helping fuel consumer confidence and business expansion.
Recent employment reports, however, paint a different picture as hiring has slowed considerably compared to previous economic recoveries.

For retailers and service industries that rely heavily on discretionary consumer spending, weaker hiring can translate directly into softer sales and slower economic momentum.
