The New York Times live-updates the U.S. October jobs report, in which employers added an unexpectedly strong 165,000 jobs, unemployment fell to 4.1 percent, and prior months were revised up by 84,000, though economists caution the monthly numbers are volatile and wage growth stayed subdued. Times reporters read the data as making job growth look meaningfully better and affirming the Federal Reserve's gradual rate increases, while the page also covers a tech-led market sell-off, Microsoft's offer of buyouts to about 60,000 employees, a still-high trade deficit, and voter frustration over the economy that swept out incumbent Republicans in the midterms.
