214K New Jobs Cut Unemployment Rate to 5.8% for a 6-Year Low

Morning Money Memo:

ABC News' Zunaira Zaki and John Kapetaneas report:

The economy created 214,000 jobs in October, slightly lower than economist expectations. There were a couple bits of good news in today's Labor Department report: August and September numbers were revised to show a total of 31,000 jobs added in those months. The labor force participation rate didn't drop, another relatively good sign. The unemployment rate fell slightly to 5.8 percent, the lowest since July 2008. Jobs were added in most sectors, including food services, health care and retail. This report is in line with job growth this year. If that continues for the next several months, salaries might also start going up in a significant way.

Asian and European markets are slightly lower for the day. Gold and crude oil are up slightly amid falling prices in recent weeks, while the U.S. dollar has had its strongest week in over a year.

Home Depot's data breach is even worse than initially reported. The company announced Thursday 53 million emails were hacked in one of the largest private security breaches in recent years. The email hack reportedly did not affect customer payment or other sensitive personal information, although Home Depot is offering credit monitoring as a proposed precaution. The company revealed in September that hackers stole information from roughly 56 million customer credit and debit cards, via a series of malware attacks targeting the retailer. The company is also warning customers about potential ongoing phishing scams further targeting email addresses. Home Depot's performance appears largely unaffected from the fallout following the breach; the company's stock is up more than 15 percent on the year.

The U.S. Post Office is stepping up against its overwhelming competition from the private sector, announcing it will offer every day delivery during the upcoming holiday season. The USPS has lost considerable business to private transport companies like FedEx and UPS, which have traditionally provided more accommodating year-round services for customers. The Post Office is expected to handle up to 470 million packages this year, a 12 percent increase from last year's holiday season. The increased service schedule will be available in all major cities and high-traffic areas, and will last through Christmas.

To infinity, and beyond! For the fourth time since 1995, Buzz and Woody will team up for the latest installment of the "Toy Story" series. Walt Disney, the parent company of Pixar Animation Studios, as well as ABC News, has announced the release of "Toy Story 4? for June 2017. The highly successful franchise has grossed nearly $2 billion through its first three films, proving to be a worldwide blockbuster across multiple cultures and generations. Disney Thursday announced strong fourth-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street estimates.
