The economy added 151,000 jobs in October, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, widely surpassing expectations, though the unemployment rate held steady at 9.6 percent.
The private sector added 159,000 jobs, while the government shed 8,000. The BLS also reported that the economy lost 100,000 fewer jobs in August and September than previously reported.
