Good Jobs Not in Sight
Unemployment remained essentially unchanged at 5.9 percent in November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Dec. 5. The economy generated 57,000 new jobs last month—more than 46,000 of them were temporary jobs or positions in the usually low-paying health care, social assistance, food services and accommodations sectors. The economy again lost manufacturing jobs—17,000—for the 40th consecutive month.
