    From the BLS: Employment Scenario

    Whole nonfarm payroll employment rose by 227,000 in November, and the unemployment charge
    modified little at 4.2 p.c
    , the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in the present day. Employment
    trended up in well being care, leisure and hospitality, authorities, and social help. Retail
    commerce misplaced jobs.

    The change in complete nonfarm payroll employment for September was revised up by 32,000, from
    +223,000 to +255,000, and the change for October was revised up by 24,000, from +12,000 to
    +36,000. With these revisions, employment in September and October mixed is 56,000 increased
    than beforehand reported.

    emphasis added

    Click on on graph for bigger picture.

    The primary graph reveals the roles added per 30 days since January 2021.

    Whole payrolls elevated by 227 thousand in November.  Personal payrolls elevated by 194 thousand, and public payrolls elevated 33 thousand.

    Payrolls for September and October have been revised up 56 thousand, mixed.


    Year-over-year change employment
    The second graph reveals the year-over-year change in complete non-farm employment since 1968.

    In November, the year-over-year change was 2.27 million jobs.  Employment was up solidly year-over-year (Though the annual benchmark revision will decrease the year-over-year change).

    The third graph reveals the employment inhabitants ratio and the participation charge.

    Employment Pop Ratio and participation rate
    The Labor Drive Participation Charge decreased to 62.5% in November, from 62.6% in October. That is the share of the working age inhabitants within the labor pressure.

    The Employment-Inhabitants ratio decreased to 59.8% from 60.0% in October (blue line).


    I am going to submit the 25 to 54 age group employment-population ratio graph later.

    unemployment rateThe fourth graph reveals the unemployment charge.

    The unemployment charge elevated to 4.2% in November from 4.1% in October.

    This was above consensus expectations, and September and October payrolls have been revised up by 56,000 mixed.  

    This report was boosted by the top of strikes and employees returning after the hurricanes.
