November report against which to view the news of a dip in unemployment. It's a mixed bag. The numbers most interesting from a pure growth point of view may be the 'participation' ratios, the hours worked, and the wage levels. The unemployment rate itself along with the underemployment rate is interesting mostly against a trend line.
