Page 1

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this morning that the U.S. economy added 178,000 jobs in November. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, continues to improve, dropping from 4.9. It's the 14th consecutive month the rate has been at 5% or lower - and the lowest jobless rate Americans have seen since August 2007. Over the last 12 months, the overall economy has created 2.25 million new jobs, which is a pretty healthy number. And with one month remaining in 2016, the U.S. remains on track to create over 2 million new jobs this calendar year. What's more, November was the 74th consecutive month of positive job growth, which is the longest on record. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/unemployment-rate-drops-lowest-pointmore-9-years Read more...
