Here are the major categories of industries and the change in jobs in each of those industries. Under "Nov 2011" are the number of jobs created (or if a negatice, jobs lost) in those industries in the month of November (add 3 zeroes to the number you see to get the correct number in thousands). It also shows a comparison to Oct and Sept 2011 AND compares to a year ago (Nov 2010).
The biggest number to jump out is "Retail Trade"---a net increase of 49,000 jobs. This would in large part be seasonal hiring for the holidays. One would have to assume most of these jobs will go away in a month. This will show up in the January report, which would come out in Feb 2012.
Read it and weep...
