The September jobs report shows payrolls grew by 114,000 and the unemployment rate decreased to 7.8%, the lowest since January 2009. The report indicates more job seekers finding work rather than leaving the labor market. Revisions for July and August show an average payroll growth of 146,000 per month in Q3, an improvement from Q2's 67,000. The article discusses the potential impact of the fiscal cliff on hiring, with analysis from Goldman Sachs showing no significant correlation between government spending exposure and employment growth. The report is significant as it is the second-to-last before the election, highlighting the importance of economic momentum.
