Latest non-farm payrolls data

The US economy added 12,000 jobs in October, well below the 223,000 seen in September, and revised predictions of 113,000. This sharp drop-off has been attributed to the lasting effects of hurricane Helene and Milton. US unemployment remained at 4.1% for another month.
