Economists predicted 5.9 per cent. Last year was the strongest year for job growth since 2006, with the country\u2019s services sector propelling gains.<\/p>\n<p>The economy lost just 1,000 new jobs at the end of 2015 versus the 10,000 loss economists were expecting.

The number of new jobs added in November actually increased, to 74,900 from 71,400, making November the best month for jobs since July 1994.
