What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

U.S. employers created 165,000 new jobs last month, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, surpassing economist expectations. This report followed the midterm elections, during which Democrats gained full control of Congress. Average hourly wages increased by 0.4% month-over-month in October.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The strong job gains are expected to increase Federal Reserve policymakers' confidence in the health of the labor market. This may give the FED the leeway to focus on high inflation and potentially raise its benchmark interest rate at its next meeting in December.
