US hiring likely rebounded last month after storms and strikes curtailed October job growth

Jobs Report - (Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved)

Hiring in the United States likely rebounded last month from a dismal October, when hurricanes and strikes reduced job growth to its lowest level in nearly four years.

Friday's jobs report from the Labor Department is expected to show that employers added roughly 208,000 jobs in November, according to a survey of forecasters by the data firm FactSet. That would mark a sharp bounce-back from October’s gain of just 12,000 jobs, the fewest in any month since December 2020.
