As growth stocks outperformed value stocks significantly, attention has turned to the Federal Reserve's upcoming decisions on interest rates amidst rebounding job growth in November. In this climate of economic uncertainty and sector divergence, dividend stocks offer a reliable income stream for investors seeking stability.
