The Zhitong Finance App learned that data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday showed that the number of people employed in non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000 in August, which is significantly higher than the average monthly increase of only 31,000 people in the previous 12 months. This figure not only far exceeded market expectations of 55,000 people, but also showed an astonishing reversal from the value at the beginning of July (a decrease of 23,000 people). The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.1%, and the number of unemployed stabilized at 7 million. US employment growth rebounded beyond expectations in August, and the unemployment rate remained flat, indicating that labor market momentum was stronger than previously anticipated.
