The U.S. economy added just 169,000 jobs in August, which was lower than 180,000 expected. Furthermore, the July number was revised down to 104,000 from an earlier estimate of 162,000.
And on top of that, the labor force participation rate fell, causing the unemployment rate to drop to 7.3% from 7.4% in July.
All of this reminds us that the jobs market remains weak four years into the economic recovery.
