The unemployment rate rose to 5.7 percent from 5.6 percent as more than a million Americans streamed into the labor force seeking work.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>Average hourly earnings jumped 0.5 percent, the most since November 2008, from the prior month. They were up 2.2 percent over the past year, the biggest advance since August.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>A striking aspect of the report was a revision that added 147,000 jobs to the payroll tally for the previous two months, which also incorporated adjustments back to 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Employment in November was revised up to a 423,000 gain, the most since May 2010. Private payrolls, which exclude government agencies, soared 414,000 that month, the biggest advance since September 1997.<\/p>\n<p>Job gains in January were led by retailers, construction firms and health-care companies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2015-02-06\/-sell-treasuries-cry-heard-across-wall-street-stunned-by-jobs\">previously scheduled deflation has been cancelled<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After the jobs report, traders pulled forward their expectations for when the Fed will raise borrowing costs from near zero, where they\u2019ve been since 2008. Futures contracts show a 27 percent chance of a June rate increase, up from 18 percent on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just the labor market that\u2019s giving ammunition to to the view that higher rates are coming. Oil is also headed for its biggest two-week rally since March 1998, alleviating concerns that the commodities drop will ruin the U.S. outlook.<\/p>\n<p>The bond market is now pricing in annual inflation of 1.49 percent for the next five years, up from 1.07 percent just a month ago, according to break-even rates on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. That\u2019s a lot closer to the Fed\u2019s 2 percent target.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, derivatives traders still don\u2019t see the economy strengthening enough to compel the Fed to raise its benchmark rate above 2 percent by the end of 2018. The Fed\u2019s longer-run forecast for rates is about 4 percent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Canada was not left out &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/report-on-business\/economy\/jobs\/jobless-rate-dips-to-66-as-canada-pumps-out-35000-jobs\/article22828865\/\">McJobs, McJobs, McJobs<\/a>!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Canadian economy created a greater-than-expected 35,400 jobs last month, fuelled by growth in part-time positions, the self employed and Alberta\u2019s non-energy sector.<\/p>\n<p>The country\u2019s unemployment rate fell to 6.6 per cent in January from 6.7 per cent a month earlier, Statistics Canada said Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The gains topped forecasts and show some resilience in the face of lower oil prices and weakening business investment. But some of the details were weaker, showing part-time work and self employment led last month\u2019s gains while the country\u2019s participation rate remains at its lowest level since 2000.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>In the last year, full-time employment has risen 0.8 per cent and part-time climbed 0.6 per cent. The total number of hours worked is slightly higher, up 0.3 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers come after Statscan recently revised its estimates for job growth in 2014. Employment gains were the slowest since 2009 last year, at 121,000, a third lower than the originally estimated increase of 186,000.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s participation rate was unchanged at 65.7 per cent last month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, given that future Canadian jobs will depend on demand for domestic staff in the States, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2015-02-06\/canada-s-dollar-gains-versus-most-peers-employment-top-forecasts\">the dollar fell<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The loonie, as the currency is nicknamed for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, declined 0.8 percent to C$1.2529 per U.S. dollar at 2:52 p.m. in Toronto. One loonie buys 79.82 U.S. cents. <br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>Canada\u2019s currency depreciated 1.8 percent on Jan. 21 after the central bank trimmed its main rate to 0.75 percent from 1 percent. On Jan. 30 it touched C$1.2799 per U.S. dollar, the lowest level in nearly six years, part of the currency\u2019s worst monthly start to a year in Bloomberg records going back to 1971.<\/p>\n<p>Bank of Canada policy makers next meet March 4, with swaps traders seeing 60 percent chance they will cut the rate to 0.5 percent, according to Bloomberg calculations based on trading in overnight index swaps.
