U.S. Job Growth Cools But Remains Steady; New UAW Contract Brings Wage Gains

U.S. employers added 150,000 jobs in October, falling short of expectations but still representing healthy job creation.

Some signs of cooling in the labor market as wage growth decelerated slightly and unemployment ticked up.

Markets reacted positively to data showing moderation, as it may deter Fed from further rate hikes.

Forecasts for next year mixed, with some seeing recession but others expecting continued growth.

For workers like Tenisha Hodges, new UAW contract provides prospect of significant wage gains.
