Analysts say employment was stable this month
The U.S. unemployment rate likely held steady in November, matching the 9 percent average for all 2011, according to the median estimate of 55 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. The economy may have added 120,000 jobs this month, according to the average of 59 estimates. Though that’s more than the 80,000 added in October, it’s less than this year’s 125,600 monthly average, Bloomberg reported. The official government report on employment will be released Friday.
