AssociatedPressHiring burst of 162,000 jobs in August puts the focus squarely back on inflation in the US The U.S. job market rebounded in August as employers added a surprising 162,000 jobs. The unemployment stayed at 4.1%. apnews.com


A solid jobs report for once. Unemployment held at 4.1%, but wages rose slower than inflation. More people working is good news. It just doesn't mean much to families if every trip to the store keeps getting more expensive.

Expected 65k and got 162k. That's a hell of a miss.

59k of those jobs were at restaurants and bars. So terrible hours and not real jobs. Trump is gonna gloat anyway
