After two lacklustre months of gains, the United States labour market recovery picked up steam in October, as COVID-19 infections eased. But the pace of hiring was still less than the monthly average this year, as shortages of workers and raw materials continue to weigh on business activity.The world’s largest economy added 531,000 jobs last month, the US Department of Labor said on Friday.
