More New Jerseyans found jobs in October, but maybe not in New Jersey.
The Garden State's unemployment rate dipped to 5.2 percent from 5.3 percent, but the state lost 5,600 jobs last month, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development reported Thursday.
The report is a sign that New Jersey's economy, after a strong 2015, has had trouble sustaining its momentum in 2016.
The monthly jobs report is made up of a survey of employers to measure the number of jobs and a survey of households to measure the unemployment rate. The two figures don't always line up, particularly in New Jersey, where many residents cross the Hudson and Delaware rivers to work.

Traffic jams could afflict New York City’s heavily traveled West Side Highway for three years as a multibillion-dollar train tunnel is built under the Hudson River, draft proposals obtained by Reuters show, feeding concern about an area already disrupted by massive real estate development. The draft, obtained from a transportation sector source, reveals for the first time the actual work necessary to begin building the massive tunnel linking New York and New Jersey. It represents a marquee component of Amtrak's $24 billion Gateway Project to repair and expand the heart of the critical and lucrative U.S. northeast transportation corridor.

Carbon fibers, an interesting material, especially when used as the key ingredient in fiber-reinforced plastics and other composites, are nearly five times stronger than steel, three times lighter, twice as stiff and have better yield strength. This makes them particularly interesting to developers of high performance vehicles, who use the composite material as an alternative to traditional steel construction. Research from Frost & Sullivan has outlined carbon fiber as a way for aerospace and automotive manufacturers to build better vehicles — a necessity when standards for auto emissions will reach new highs by 2025.
