NAFCU Chief Economist Curt Long statement on November jobs report

National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU) Chief Economist Curt Long issued the following statement in response to the Labor Department’s November employment report, released this morning.

"This was a solid report, albeit one that failed once again to show ever-elusive wage growth," said Long. "But the addition of 230,000 jobs combined with steady unemployment will not give the Fed any pause as officials prepare to raise rates later this month."
