The latest jobs report showed that the US economy added 161,000 jobs in October, fewer than expected, while unemployment rate came in at 4.9%.
On the positive side, however, wage growth was stronger than expected. Average hourly earnings rose 0.4% month-on-month (0.3% forecast) and 2.8% year-on-year (2.6% estimated.)
