The Labor Department’s monthly jobs report usually comes out on the first Friday of each month. But because of the 43-day federal government shutdown, which lasted through mid-November, the Labor Department postponed the November jobs report by more than a week.
The shutdown left statistical agencies understaffed, forcing data collection to grind to a halt.
There was another wrinkle in Tuesday’s unusual release: the Labor Department unveiled partial labour market data from October alongside the full November report.
Many of the workers cut by the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the spring did not formally fall off the payrolls until October, which economists said complicated the overall numbers for that month.
In November, job gains were uneven across sectors.
Health care added 46,000 jobs, according to the report, 11,000 of which were in nursing and residential care facilities. Employment in construction, which the Labor Department says had held fairly steady over the previous 12 months, rose by 28,000 jobs.
On the other hand, the transportation and warehousing sector saw 18,000 job losses in November. Employment in manufacturing fell by 5,000 jobs.
