US Jobs Creation Slows, Nearing a Two-Year Low
Written by David Schollaert
The US economy added 261,000 new jobs in October, outperforming consensus expectations but still decelerating to the slowest pace since December 2020, according to data from the US Department of Labor.
In contrast, the unemployment rate moved higher last month to 3.7%, after estimates expected the October measure to remain sideways and match the five-decade low of 3.5% seen the month prior.
