This is good in that the jobs market isn’t as bad as expected (dubious data or later downward revisions being still being possible).

On the other hand, rate cuts to stimulate the economy would not be advisable considering this data. And inflation would be less likely to come down with robust hiring as the data suggests.

Good news/bad news depending upon your position.
