Figures from the Labor Department showed the US economy created 178000 jobs in November, while the jobless rate fell to 4. 6% from 4. 9% in October.
The data adds to recent evidence of healthy growth in the economy, although wage growth was weaker than expected.
Most analysts think the Federal Reserve will raise rates at its next meeting. "This was the last obstacle on the path to a December rise, and it has been cleared convincingly, " said Luke Bartholomew, investment manager at Aberdeen Asset Management.
The Federal Reserve will hold its next two-day policy meeting on 13 -14 December.
Last month, the chair of the Fed, Janet Yellen, indicated that the US central bank could raise interest rates "relatively soon, " adding that the US economy was "making very good progress. "
Recent figures indicated that the US economy grew at an annual pace of 3. 2% in the third quarter of the year.
The US economy has been creating jobs at an average of 180000 jobs a month this year, although that is down on the average of 229000 recorded in 2015.
Despite November’s robust jobs figures, earnings grew by less than expected. Average hourly earnings fell 0. 1% from the month before, and that reduced the annual increase in wages to 2. 5% from 2. 8% in October.
The job creation figures for September and October were also revised, with the latest estimates indicating that 2000 fewer jobs were added in the two months than previously thought.
Before these figures, the markets were pretty clear about what they think the Federal Reserve will do when it meets later this month—it will raise interest rates. The jobs numbers have further reinforced that expectation.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What can we learn about the US economy?
13. What was the last obstacle on the path to a December rise?
14. What do we know about the average speed of US economy creating jobs?
15. What will the Federal Reserve probably do in the near future?
