U.S. employers add 39,000 jobs; unemployment rate rises to 9.8%

U.S. employers added 39,000 jobs in November, the Labor Department said, a sign that the economy is accelerating, but at a pace lower than what analysts expected. Analysts had predicted employers would add between 75,000 and 200,000 jobs, according to a Bloomberg survey.

The unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent, compared with 9.6 percent in October. /Washington Post
