Labor Market In December, nonfarm payroll employment grew 312,000, up from 176,000 in November The unemployment rate increased 0.2pp to 3.9%, as the number of individuals voluntarily quitting or leaving their current jobs rose significantly Major industry gains: health care (50K), food service and drinking places (41K), construction (38K), and manufacturing (32K) In 2018, average monthly nonfarm payroll grew at a pace of 199,900 per month while UR dipped below 4.0%. The slightly uptick in the unemployment rate reflects higher number re-entrants and levels of confidence in job leavers The labor force participation rate and employment-to-population increased to 0.4pp to 63.1% and 60.6%, respectively In 2019, we expect the UR to decline 3.7% despite a deceleration in the pace of job growth
