WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. job growth surged in November after being severely hindered by hurricanes and strikes, but a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.2% pointed to an easing labor market that should allow the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates again this month. The labor market's resilience is driving the economy through strong consumer spending, with the closely watched employment report from the Labor Department on Friday showing solid wage growth last month. "The report should soothe bears and bulls alike," said Scott Anderson, chief U.S. economist at BMO Capital Markets.
