The US job market beat expectations in November, adding 263,000 payrolls led by the service sector. Leisure and hospitality added 88,000 jobs, with roughly 62,000 in food and drink services. Health care and social assistance added more than 68,000 jobs, rising to 82,000 when combined with education. Government employment also rose, adding 42,000 jobs. However, retail trade and transportation and warehousing both lost jobs. The pandemic has caused a shift in the way our working lives intersect with health and happiness, leading to increased flexibility and a focus on reducing burnout. It has also led to a spike in demand for workers across industries and a candidate-driven market.
