The unemployment rate declined to 3.6 percent, the lowest level since December 1969. Average hourly earnings were up 3.2 percent from the same period a year ago, unchanged from the previous month. The biggest job gains in the latest month came in professional and business services, construction, and healthcare. Manufacturing employment was little changed for the third month in a row.
