Yep. As reported on thestreet.com today. 510,000 in December


The U.S. economy added far more new jobs than forecast last month, the Labor Department said Friday, with a big revision for its December reading, adding even more fuel to the Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook on rates and inflation.

The Bureau for Labor Statistics said 467,00 new jobs were created last month, with headline unemployment rate rising from a post-pandemic low to 4%. The January tally was firmly ahead of the Street consensus forecast of 150,000.

The BLS also revised its December jobs addition estimate to a whopping 510,000 from its original estimate of 199,000.

The BLS noted that hourly wages were up 0.7% in January, and 5.7% on the year, to $31.63 per hour, with the year-on-year reading coming in well ahead of Street forecasts.
