The U.S. economy added 150,000 jobs in October, much less than the previous month, while the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9%.
While some of the biggest job losses were in manufacturing due to the auto-workers strike, the entertainment industry continued to shed employees, with the loss of 5,400 motion picture and sound recording in the sector, to 428,200, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The industry has lost 44,000 jobs since May, at least partly due to the strikes. The WGA approved a new contract earlier in the month, but SAG-AFTRA negotiations continue with studios.

The October job gains, less than expected, are also below the average monthly gain of 258,000 over the past year.
The UAW reached a tentative agreement with General Motors earlier this week, ending the union’s labor actions against Detroit automakers. The jobs data showed that manufacturing employment fell by 35,000 in October, with 33,000 of those jobs in motor vehicles and parts, or primarily due to strike activity.
