u.s. non farm payrolls for august: zero jobs!

Posted by x (aka dmuck) Sep 2 '11, 05:34

july revised down to 85k from 117k.

"Nonfarm payroll employment was unchanged (0) in August, and the unemployment
rate held at 9.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Employment in most major industries changed little over the month. Health
care continued to add jobs, and a decline in information employment reflected
a strike. Government employment continued to trend down, despite the return
of workers from a partial government shutdown in Minnesota."
