Big Jobs Number Boosts Stocks

Today was the release of the November jobs report.  The street expected that 230,000 new jobs would be created.  there was a big surprise in order, however, as 321,000 non-farm jobs were created.  Although the headline unemployment rate, which we all know is grossly understated, remained at 5.8%, the average hourly earnings number jumped by .4% or twice the expected number.  As one would expect stocks rallied and bonds tumbled.

It's always good to hear at least some positive in the job numbers.

Jeff, thanks for sharing this information. I am wondering if most of these new jobs that were created are part-time seasonal positions that have been created for the holiday season.
