You can return them in an object literal:

function yourFunction() {
  var values = [];
  var labels = [];
  //code that modifies `values` and `labels`
  return { values : values, labels : labels };
}

var a = yourFunction(); //`a.values` is `values` from the function and `a.labels` is `labels` from the function

Return an object or array containing these two variables.

return [
    values[],
    labels[]
];

A function can return one value/object/array at a time. Now you can do it in smarter way. Use nested Array here.

Put both array inside another array and return that array

var newAr = {};
newArr.push(values)
newArr.push(labels)
return newArr

There are many other ways to create jQuery Array. Refer jQuery Arrays for that.
