Employment market turmoil created by recent hurricanes and significant labor strikes was expected to impact today’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) jobs data. While the BLS could not directly quantify storm and strike damage to the data, most analysts had estimated an impact of up to 100,000 jobs. With that as background, today’s data indicated employment essentially unchanged, increasing 12,000 versus September, significantly lower than the consensus estimate expansion of 100,000 and lower tha
