US Adds 245,000 Jobs in November

VOA News

   The United States added 245,000 jobs in November, the fewest since
   April and the latest sign that hiring has slowed sharply during a
   resurgent coronavirus outbreak in the country.

   The Labor Department reported Friday that the jobless rate in November
   improved to a still-high 6.7% from 6.9% in October.

   The November job gains were far fewer than the 610,000 in October, and
   the fifth straight month job growth has slowed in the U.S.
