Unemployment rate climbs to four percent in November
The Labor Department reports the jobless rate rose to 4.0 percent in November as payroll growth slowed to 94,000. Government job cuts and slower expansion weigh on the economy while Wall Street advances on moderating growth. Earnings rise 0.4 percent to 13.94 dollars per hour.
Job data sparks Wall Street rally on hiring data
Wall Street rallied after a government jobs report suggested room for a rate cut next year. The Dow, Nasdaq, and S P 500 climbed in early trading before trimming gains, as political uncertainty from the presidential election cooled sentiment. Labor data showed November job growth remained weak, nudging unemployment to 4.0 percent for the first rise since August.
