RE oil, you're the hammer for whom the whole world is a nail.
Covid DID lower demand for oil and the f'd up WORLD supply chain is struggling to catch up with the RECOVERY demand for it, as it is for many goods.
Find something to contradict that or STFU about it.
Oh wait, what does THIS mean?

October jobs report: Payrolls grew by 531,000 as unemployment rate fell to 4.6%
Source: Yahoo! Finance
U.S. employers increased their pace of hiring in October after a sluggish September, with declining COVID-19 infections and demand for workers amid widespread shortages helping bolster labor market activity.
The Labor Department released its October jobs report Friday morning. Here were the main metrics from the report, compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg:
Non-farm payrolls were expected to show the biggest jump in a single month since July. Though payrolls have grown in every month so far in 2021, the economy remains about 5 million jobs short of its pre-pandemic levels following plunges in employment between March and April of 2020. And the civilian labor force was still down by about 3.1 million individuals compared to February 2020 as of September.

TGIF and our DU economic analysts should be around shortly to fill in the details. Am ball-parking that the gains were a bit more than expected which is good news!
NOTE: The August and September numbers were revised upwards considerably -
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for August was revised up by 117,000, from +366,000 to +483,000 , and the change for September was revised up by 118,000, from +194,000 to +312,000. With these revisions, employment in August and September combined is 235,000 higher than previously reported.
(Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors.)

So instead of September being +194,000, it was +312,00.
