The Labor Department said that the U.S. economy added 199,000 payroll jobs in November, up from 150,000 in October and above the Bloomberg consensus forecast of 185,000. The increase was driven in part by the return of workers following the UAW and Hollywood strikes. The unemployment rate fell to 3.7%, down from 3.9% in October and below the consensus forecast. The University of Michigan sentiment index increased to 69.4. The Dow rose 0.02%, while the S&P 500 was down 0.04%, and the Nasdaq was flat.
