Overview: Although U.S. employment grew more slowly than expected in December, jobs-related data just issued by the U.S. Department of Labor reveal a solid growth story, according to some economists. December nonfarm payrolls rose by 108,000, with professional and business services, food services, health care, and manufacturing among the sectors that added jobs. The overall figure, however, was a good deal shy of the 200,000 forecast made by a bevy of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News and way less than November's rise of 305,000 (revised upward from an original figure of 215,000).
