August Jobs Growth Slows To 315k Added, REAL Wage Growth Continues To Decline -3.3% YoY, Multiple Jobholders Increases (Fed Will Interpret At Green Light To Further Raise Interest Rates)

by confoundedinterest17

The August jobs report is out. 315k jobs were added, which was considerably higher than the ADP jobs added report of 132k. Hmm.

Be that as it may, US Average Hourly Earnings YoY remained at 5.2%. That’s a shame since the last inflation report had US inflation at 8.5%. That translates to REAL Average Hourly Earnings YoY of … -3.3%.

Labor force participation rose to 62.4%.

This is a decent jobs report and will likely lead The Fed to continue raising rates, particularly when The Fed sees that multiple jobholders has increased to cope with inflation.

And if “Screamin’ Joe” Biden’s speech last night wasn’t so bizarre, I would be pleased with the August jobs report.

And what a weird background. I felt like I was watching the TV show “Supernatural.”

Or the creepy Netflix show “Midnight Mass.”
