The U.S. economy added a solid 146,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, the lowest since December 2008. The government said Superstorm Sandy had only a minimal effect on the figures.
AP reports:Hiring remained steady during the storm and in the face of looming tax increases. But the government said employers added 49,000 fewer jobs in October and September than initially estimated. And the unemployment rate fell from 7.9 percent in October mostly because more people stopped looking for work and weren’t counted as unemployed.

shortformblog: The good news: Things are improving. The better news: A tough month after Sandy didn’t crimp the improvement.
For a 24-hour, 55-minute period starting Monday, Nov. 26 into Tuesday, Nov. 27, not a single person was reported shot, stabbed or slashed in New York City -- the first time that's happened in recent memory.

matthewgallaway: Here are some shots of me and all of my friends at a party we went to at the Morris-Jumel Mansion on Sunday. Someone brought this amazing drink that makes you invisible!
for the curious, at the Morris-Jumel Mansion Museum there are some historical / art exhibits by artists Andrea Arroyo and Felipe Galindo, as part of Hispanic Heritage Month (the exhibits last beyond September into January)
