Last month, American companies created 169 jobs, fewer than the 175 expected by analysts. The United States Department of Labor reported today, specifying that the unemployment rate fell further, reaching 7,3%. Estimates spoke of a zero change compared to July (7,4%). However, the decline was affected by the reduction in the number of people looking for a job.
The data on the US labor market were much awaited by the markets because they could justify the start of the so-called "tapering", ie the reduction of the economic stimulus program by the Federal Reserve.
