WASHINGTON — The nation’s unemployment rate climbed to 9.8 percent in
November, a seven-month high, as hiring slowed sharply, the government’s
monthly employment report showed Friday.
Overall, U.S. employers added just 39,000 jobs last month, a sharp decline
from the 172,000 created in October, the Labor Department reported. The
weakness was widespread, as retailers, factories, construction companies,
financial firms and the government all cut jobs.
Paul Dales, U.S. economist for Capital Economics, called the November jobs
report “a painful reality check for those hoping that a meaningful
acceleration in economic activity was underway.”
“The truth is that the economy is going nowhere at a time when companies
are not willing to boost hiring,” he said.
..Government jobs fell by 11,000 last month, but private employers — the
backbone of the economy — managed to rev up hiring a little in November,
adding some 50,000 jobs. That was down significantly from the 160,000
private-sector jobs created in October and was the smallest gain since
January.
And those job gains were not enough to drive down the unemployment rate, now
at 9.8 percent. It marks the 19th straight month that the jobless rate has
remained above 9 percent, the longest stretch on records going back to 1948.
The previous record stretch was set in the early 1980s.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said he expects the
nation’s unemployment rate to soon move above 10 percent.
“If it’s not in December, it’s early next year, but I don’t see how we’
re not going to get into double digits,” he told CNBC Friday.
The economy would need to consistently add 200,000 to 300,000 a month to
make a noticeable dent in the unemployment rate, analysts say. It could take
until near the end of this decade to drop the unemployment rate to a more
normal 6 percent, they say.
Friday’s jobs report was a disappointment to economists, many of whom had
predicted the addition of nearly 150,000 jobs in November.
Economists have said the economy is moving in the right direction. After a
sharp slowdown in the spring and a tepid rebound in the summer and fall, the
economy is flashing signs of stronger growth in the final months of the
year. That was evident in economic reports out earlier this week.
Factories are producing more. Auto sales are rising. A private report
earlier this week showed the strongest private-sector job gains in three
years. And applications for initial unemployment benefits hit a two-year low
in November.
But these reports didn’t translate into mass hiring in November. | l****6
