The US economy added 165,000 jobs in October, more than double what experts had expected. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, and manufacturing employment increased.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised its estimates for August and September upward by a combined 84,000 jobs. Average hourly earnings rose 3.1% from the same period a year earlier.
Manufacturing added 19,000 jobs in October. Employment in the sector has increased by more than 100,000 since the start of 2026.
Experts described the report as stronger than expected, with gains across several industries. Professional and business services, education and health, trade and transportation also contributed to job growth.
Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said manufacturing had expanded for a tenth consecutive month. He said initial jobless claims stood at 189,000 last week, matching the lowest level recorded since 1969.
