U.S. unemployment rises to 4.6%, signaling labor market cooling despite November job gains and economic concerns.
The U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 4.6% in November, marking its highest level in more than four years and signalling a cooling labour market. Despite job gains during the month, broader trends suggest increasing pressure across the economy.
