JOSÉ DÍAZ-BALART: The unemployment rate fell to its lowest level in the past 50 years. It was lowered to 3.5% in September, and dropped to 3.9% among Latinos. 136,000 total jobs were added this last month. In spite of the numbers being somewhat below expectations, there are now 108 consecutive months of job growth. It is the longest-ever streak in the employment market. And an encouraging bit of data in the midst of concerns over a potential recession: most of the jobs added were in healthcare, professional services, and business.
