You don't see those bumps until next month. </p>

<p>Here's from the BLS report. The gains have been in the same places they've been for the last few months. </p>

<p>Establishment Survey Data</p>

<p>Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 171,000 in October. Employment growth</p>
<p>has averaged 157,000 per month thus far in 2012, about the same as the average monthly</p>
<p>gain of 153,000 in 2011. In October, employment rose in professional and business</p>
<p>services, health care, and retail trade. (See table B-1.)</p>

<p>Professional and business services added 51,000 jobs in October, with gains in </p>
<p>services to buildings and dwellings (+13,000) and in computer systems design (+7,000).</p>
<p>Temporary help employment changed little in October and has shown little net change </p>
<p>over the past 3 months. Employment in professional and business services has grown by</p>
<p>1.6 million since its most recent low point in September 2009.</p>

<p>Health care added 31,000 jobs in October. Job gains continued in ambulatory health</p>
<p>care services (+25,000) and hospitals (+6,000). Over the past year, employment in</p>
<p>health care has risen by 296,000.</p>

<p>(+7,000), and in furniture and home furnishings stores (+4,000). Retail trade has added</p>
<p>82,000 jobs over the past 3 months, with most of the gain occurring in motor vehicles</p>
<p>and parts dealers, clothing and accessories stores, and miscellaneous store retailers.</p>

<p>Employment in leisure and hospitality continued to trend up (+28,000) over the month.</p>
<p>This industry has added 811,000 jobs since a recent low point in January 2010, with</p>
<p>most of the gain occurring in food services.</p>

<p>Employment in construction edged up in October. The gain was concentrated in specialty</p>
<p>trade contractors (+17,000).</p>

<p>Manufacturing employment changed little in October. On net, manufacturing employment</p>
<p>has shown little change since April.</p>

<p>Mining lost 9,000 jobs in October, with most of the decline occurring in support</p>
<p>activities for mining. Since May of this year, employment in mining has decreased</p>
<p>by 17,000.</p>

<p>Employment in other major industries, including wholesale trade, transportation and </p>
<p>warehousing, information, financial activities, and government, showed little change</p>
<p>over the month.</p>

<p>In October, the average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls was</p>
<p>34.4 hours for the fourth consecutive month. The manufacturing workweek edged down by</p>
<p>0.1 hour to 40.5 hours, and factory overtime was unchanged at 3.2 hours. The average</p>
<p>workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls edged</p>
<p>down by 0.1 hour to 33.6 hours. (See tables B-2 and B-7.)</p>

<p>In October, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls edged</p>
<p>down by 1 cent to $23.58. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have risen</p>
<p>by 1.6 percent. In October, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and</p>
<p>nonsupervisory employees edged down by 1 cent to $19.79. (See tables B-3 and B-8.)</p>

<p>The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for August was revised from +142,000 to</p>
<p>+192,000, and the change for September was revised from +114,000 to +148,000.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/311149</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/311149</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[heckofajobbrownie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:44:19 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Job Report Headlines on Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:33:00 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Actually Fox News in this case is a little closer to the truth, this time of year there should be larger hiring due to the upcoming holiday season, lots of temp workers are hired in Oct/Nov.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/311148</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/311148</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[sadbrownsfan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:33:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
