For fun:

Through August 2023, the employment report indicated positive job growth for 32 consecutive months, putting the current streak in 8th place of the longest job streaks in US history (since 1939).

The UAW strike will not impact the September employment report since it started on September 15th, so it seems likely the job streak will move into a tie for 5th place with the next report (if it is actually released - threatened by another shutdown).
