Despite companies asking workers to work from home due to the omicron strain, hiring is projected to have been strong and broad-based in December.

Some say omicron is not threatening business as much as media hypes.

According to Dow Jones, economists expect 422,000 new jobs in December, up from 210,000 in November. The unemployment rate is predicted to drop to 4.1 percent, down a tenth of a percentage point.
