Summary · why it matters

US nonfarm payrolls fell by 23,000 in July, an unexpected decline against market expectations for an increase of 80,000. The June figure was also revised sharply lower, from a gain of 57,000 to an increase of just 20,000. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1 percent from 4.2 percent in June, but this was driven by a further decline in the labor force participation rate. The results are seen as casting doubt on a Federal Reserve rate hike next month.
