(Undated) — The September jobs report beat expectations by a considerable amount. Director of the National Economic Council Lael Brainard said this is great news.
Numbers out today from the Labor Department show 254-thousand new jobs created last month. That’s compared to the 140 to 150-thousand most analysts had predicted. In addition, the unemployment rate dipped slightly to four-point-one-percent down from four-point-two.
