The US Labor Department released its latest monthly jobs report on Friday 4 February, revealing the US economy created far more jobs than expected in January, even as Omicron cases peaked at the beginning of the year. Nonfarm payrolls surged by 467,000 for the month, while unemployment edged higher to 4%. The Dow Jones estimate was for payroll growth of 150,000 and a 3.9% unemployment rate.
The eurozone’s unemployment rate also fell to a historic 6.4% low in December, as hiring in Europe showed a solid recovery despite the spread of the Omicron variant, according to official figures from Eurostat released on Tuesday 1 February.
