Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 263,000 in November, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 3.7 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.9 percent in the third quarter of 2022, in contrast to a decrease of 0.6 percent in the second quarter.

The number of new filings for unemployment insurance benefits was 244,000 for the week ending July 9. The four-week moving average, which smooths week-to-week volatility in the data, is 235,750, down 72% since President Biden took office.
