October Jobs Got Leg-Up from Manufacturing Amid AI Buildout -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/11/06 14:200920 ET - Part of October's stronger-than-expected nonfarm payroll employment growth came from gains in manufacturing. The AI infrastructure buildout is partially responsible. The most growth was seen from fabricated metal products and computer and electronic products, which includes semiconductors and other electronic components. Machinery, transportation equipment and primary metal manufacturing saw increases as well. Only durable goods manufacturing saw an uplift during the month. Jobs in nondurable goods manufacturing, including food and apparel, were down for the month. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
