NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The economy continued to add jobs last month, but at a much slower pace than expected, while the unemployment rate rose to 9.8%.
U.S. employers added 39,000 jobs to their payrolls in November, the Labor Department reported Friday. That marks a major slowdown from October, when the economy added an upwardly revised 172,000 jobs.
