WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. economy gained 200,000 jobs in
December and the unemployment rate fell to 8.5%, the Labor Department
said Friday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast the U.S.
would add 150,000 jobs last month, with the jobless rate edging up to
8.7% from an initially reported 8.6% in November. Subtracting another
decline in government jobs, the private sector boosted payrolls by
212,000. Average hourly earnings rose 0.2% last month to $23.24 and
hours worked edged up to 34.4. Job gains for November and October were
little changed. The U.S. created 1.64 million jobs in 2011.
