The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 4.6% in November, its highest in more than four years, fueling questions about the American economy’s underlying strength.
A long-delayed government report on Tuesday showed that 64,000 jobs were gained in November, while 105,000 jobs were lost in October.
The unemployment rate in November rose to 4.6%, from 4.4% in September, the last month the Labor Department had reported the unemployment rate.
Job losses in June, August and October mean the U.S. economy has shed jobs in three out of the past six months.
The department published two months of data instead of one, after pausing its data collections during the 43-day government shutdown. An unemployment rate for October wasn’t available because, during the shutdown, officials weren’t able to conduct the survey needed to calculate that number.
And, payroll gains in November were slightly better than the 45,000 forecast by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal, but they had expected a lower unemployment rate of 4.5%.
