U.S. economy added 165,000 jobs in October, way more than expected; unemployment rate slips to 4.1%

Nonfarm payrolls were expected to increase by 59,000 in October as the unemployment rate was expected to hold steady at 4.2%.

What the coverage shows

Both CNBC and The Hill foreground the same Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers, with 165,000 jobs added in October and the unemployment rate at 4.1 percent. The Hill adds context about unemployment having stayed below 5 percent for more than five years, while CNBC alone emphasizes that economists had expected only 59,000 payroll gains and a 4.2 percent jobless rate.
