(DCNF)—The U.S. economy added 50,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in December 2025, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released Friday.
The December employment report comes on the heels of job growth having changed little in November 2025, with the U.S. economy adding 64,000 nonfarm payroll jobs, the BLS reported on Dec. 16. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate changed little in December at 4.4%, compared to 4.6% the month prior, according to the BLS.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones projected that the U.S. economy would add about 73,000 new nonfarm payroll jobs in December, marking an increase from November, CNBC reported on Wednesday. The unemployment rate was expected to edge down slightly to 4.5% last month, according to CNBC.
Additionally, private sector employment in the U.S. increased by 41,000 jobs in December, while pay was up 4.4% year-over-year, according to an Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) National Employment Report released on Wednesday.
“Small establishments recovered from November job losses with positive end-of-year hiring, even as large employers pulled back,” Dr. Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP, said in a statement.
The American economy grew at a much greater-than-expected pace in the third quarter of 2025, with real gross domestic product (GDP) increasing at an annual rate of 4.3% in the third quarter of 2025, according to an initial estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on Dec. 23. By comparison, real GDP increased 3.8% in the second quarter of 2025, according to the BEA.
“The TARIFFS are responsible for the GREAT USA Economic Numbers JUST ANNOUNCED,” President Donald Trump wrote in a Dec. 23 post to Truth Social in response to the GDP announcement. “AND THEY WILL ONLY GET BETTER!”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
