Us Adds 266,000 Jobs (unepectedly)

The US economy added 266,000 jobs in November, far outpacing expectations as thousands of striking auto workers returned to work, new employment figures show. The unemployment rate ticked down from 3.6 percent to 3.5 percent — matching a 50-year low, the data show. Economists predicted that non-farm payrolls would add at least 180,000 gigs last month, up from 128,000 initially reported in October.
