{"id":"1794419229732-money-segment","slug":"jobs-report-blows-past-every-forecast","title":"Jobs Report Blows Past Every Forecast","summary":"The U.S. economy added 165,000 jobs in October 2026, far above the consensus forecast of about 59,000–65,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1% from 4.2%. Average hourly earnings rose 0.4% month-over-month and 3.1% year-over-year. Prior months were revised up by 84,000 combined.\n\nJob gains were broad-based, led by professional and business services, healthcare, transportation and warehousing, and manufacturing. Temporary hiring also jumped, possibly reflecting early holiday-season staffing. The strong report reduced recession fears and increased market expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise rates again in December.\n\nThe October jobs report was released at 8:30 a.m. ET on Nov. 6. Consensus forecasts were roughly 59,000–65,000 payrolls, 4.2% unemployment, and 0.3% monthly wage growth. September's initially reported 29,000 jobs was later revised up to 60,000.\n\nOctober nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, far above forecasts, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. This is a preview with no specific factual claim to verify.\n\nMajor consensus forecasts were 59,000–65,000 for October payrolls, not 68,000. September's initially reported 29,000 was later revised to 60,000. The Sahm rule and 3-month average as stated could not be independently confirmed.","publishedAt":"2026-11-11T17:47:09.732Z","channel":{"id":"money","name":"Oncast Money","language":"en"},"show":"Money Lunch","verification":{"status":"verified","leadVerdict":"TRUE","notes":"TRUE: The October jobs report was released at 8:30 a.m. ET on Nov. 6.
