America’s employers added jobs at a slow pace in November, easing fears that uncertainty about U.S. budget policies would stifle hiring, but fueling concerns about the robustness of the economic recovery.
The Labor Department’s latest snapshot of the job market said employers added 146,000 jobs last month. That is an improvement from the previous two months, but below the average job growth per month of about 150,000 over the past two years.
I think Neil should proof read his articles. The first sentence makes little sense.
Do you mean this? “America’s employers added jobs at a slow pace in November, easing fears that uncertainty about U.S. budget policies would stifle hiring, but fueling concerns about the robustness of the economic recovery.”
Yes .If the fears had come to pass would the job numbers have been higher or lower?Also would it not be more useful to compare last Novembers number rather than the annual average?
