October’s solid 165,000 job gain gives the Federal Reserve easier justification for a December hike. On Nov. 6, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a gain of 165,000 nonfarm payroll jobs for October and revised the August number higher to 186,000 from 133,00 and the September number to 60,000 from 30,00. Given the strong job numbers over the past three months and an unemployment rate hovering around 4.1%, the Federal Open Market Committee has cover to raise the federal funds rate by another 0.25% at its December meeting. Markets have predicted about an 80% chance of a hike.
