Job growth bounced back strongly in October

Some great news on the U.S. economy today!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is reporting that the U.S. added 271,000 jobs in October, far better than the 181,000 expected by economists. The overall unemployment rate inched lower to 5.0%, which is the lowest it’s been since February 2008, nearly eight years ago.

 
This, coupled with improvement in wages, makes today’s jobs report the best of 2015.
