According to the US Labor Department, the economy added 126,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in October, gained 125,000 in September (more than double the 57,000 originally reported), gained 35,000 jobs in august (resvised from a loss of 41000).

For those of you who have been reading my market report, you already knew that I had seena discernable pick up in hiring since August of this year. Good to see the government statistics catching up.
