The United States economy ended the year by adding 103,000
jobs in December, the Labor Department said Friday, a number
that missed expectations. But the unemployment fell to 9.4
from 9.8 percent.
The agency also revised estimates from the two earlier
months, now saying that 210,000 jobs were created in October
instead of 172,000 and 71,000 in November, instead of 39,000.
As with previous months, almost all of the gain in December
-- 113,000 jobs -- came from private companies.
