If you think about it, going from 200K+ every month down to 12K and the unemployment rate was unchanged? Kindda hard to believe, unless people are dropping out of looking for a job.

Rounding error?


Both the labor force participation rate, at 62.6 percent, and the employment-population ratio,
at 60.0 percent, changed little in October. These measures have shown little change over the
year. (See table A-1.)

The number of people employed part time for economic reasons was little changed at 4.6 million
in October. These individuals would have preferred full-time employment but were working part
time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs. (See
table A-8.)

The number of people not in the labor force who currently want a job, at 5.7 million, was
essentially unchanged in October. These individuals were not counted as unemployed because
they were not actively looking for work during the 4 weeks preceding the survey or were
unavailable to take a job. (See table A-1.)

Yes, the numbers fluctuate, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see higher than normal payroll numbers next month, as so many workers re-enter the workforce.

And the previous 2 months were revised DOWN by 112K.

There is continuing concern that the Fed will accept higher inflation to help the job market, so they will keep cutting and ultimately reignite inflation.

I posted the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index. It rose at an annual rate of 2.1% last month, down from 2.2% in August and in line with expectations. A 25bp cut will not raise inflation. The low job report was due to a Boeing strike and 2 devastating hurricanes….lets wait and see. Whoever wins this election, inherits a strong economy.
 
(Bloomberg) -- Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. capped Big Oil earnings season by revealing blockbuster increases in fossil fuel production — just as OPEC and its allies are preparing to increase the supply of crude into the global market.

The US oil majors’ increases were fueled by pumping record amounts of crude from the Permian Basin, which continues to surprise analysts with year-over-year growth and efficiency gains. Exxon’s oil and gas production, boosted by the $60 billion acquisition Pioneer Natural Resources Co., increased 24% from a year earlier while Chevron grew output by 7%.

Defensive stocks have outperformed this year, but today was 100% risk on, so the usual reliables didnt do as well today - the ones you mentioned plus PG, gold, silver, etc.

They have greatly underperformed for many years, and regulations greatly increased in this administration. If Trump eases regulations as he is expected to, smaller companies will benefit disproportionately.
