December 2019 US Talent Market Monthly

After an October in which automotive sector strikes dampened hiring activity, job growth rebounded in November as U.S. employers added 266,000 workers to their payrolls. November’s figure was well above expectations, and also comes along with upward revisions to job gains for October and September (+28,000 and +13,000 respectively). Eleven months through 2019, monthly employment gains have averaged 180,000, lower than 2018 but roughly the same pace as in 2017.
