The US economy created 165,000 jobs in October, far above the 65,000 expected by economists, while unemployment edged down to 4.1%. Professional and business services led hiring, followed by healthcare, transport, warehousing and manufacturing.

Earlier job estimates were also revised higher and average hourly earnings rose 0.4% during the month. The strength gives the Federal Reserve evidence that the labor market can withstand tighter policy, although persistent inflation complicates the outlook for borrowing costs.
