August BLS Report: Steady but modest employment growth
2026-09-04
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 162,000 in August, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment increased in food services and drinking places and in local government education. The information industry lost jobs.

---------------
Some small movement of part time jobs converting to full time.
Likewise some increase in hours of manufacturing.
Some upward revision in June and July employment numbers.
