The number of non-farm workers in the United States increased 227,000 rebounded sharply from the previous month

The U.S. added 227,000 jobs in November, bouncing back sharply after being dragged down by hurricanes and the Boeing strike. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released more non-farm payrolls than economists had widely predicted 200,000. The figure was a big jump from the 12,000 initially recorded in October, which has now also been revised up to 36,000. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2 percent. Market participants expect November's data to outperform the underlying trend due to a poor performance in the previous month. The non-farm payrolls report is one of the last big numbers to be considered by the Federal Reserve before deciding whether to cut interest rates for the third time in a row at its December meeting. Federal Reserve Chairperson Jerome Powell said this week that the central bank could be "a little more cautious" about cutting interest rates because the U.S. economy is "in very good shape" and inflation is slightly higher than previously expected.
