July is no longer a loss.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised that month from 23,000 fewer payroll jobs to 21,000 more, while June rose from 20,000 to 31,000. August then added 162,000 jobs. That is above the average monthly gain of 31,000 during the previous year.

The unemployment rate held at 4.1 percent. Food services and drinking places added 59,000 jobs, local government education added 42,000, and information lost 23,000. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3 percent in August and 3.1 percent from a year earlier.

One month is preliminary. The next two releases can revise it as more employer reports arrive.
