This update should be around January 5th like the inflation markets.
@riverwalk3
The unemployment rate edged down to 3.7 percent in November
Thats last update this year and it is heading downwards
@ChristopherRandles That was an outlier in the previous trend, where it had gone up from 3.4% to 3.9%. The household survey has some variance, but it's clear we're adding less and less jobs each month and unemployment rate is slowly ticking up.
@itsTomekK 8 December 2023 is the last update before the end of the year. Shows 3.7%
