U.S. economy added just 12,000 jobs in October, impacted by hurricanes, Boeing strike

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 12,000 for the month, down sharply from September and below the Dow Jones estimate for 100,000.

The unemployment rate held at 4.1%, in line with expectations.

The BLS noted that the Boeing strike likely subtracted 44,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector, while hurricanes also likely held back the total.

Revisions lowered previously reported job creation totals by 112,000 for August and September combined.
