This is a Very good Jobs Report

A large increase in the labor force, with jobs to absorb the increase. 171,000 new jobs in October, and 84,000 jobs in upward revisions to August and September. The civilian labor force rose by 578,000 in October, and the labor force participation rate edged up to 63.8 percent.

Best report in a good while. There's no sensible way to spin it negatively
