US shed 23,000 jobs in July
US employers unexpectedly cut jobs in July, despite the unemployment rate falling to 4.1%. Nonfarm payrolls declined by 23,000 jobs. Data for the previous two months were revised down by 103,000 jobs, suggesting the labor market was weaker than previously thought. The job losses were driven by declines in the government, leisure and hospitality, and retail sectors, despite the World Cup. Some economists attributed the 50,000 job losses in local government education to seasonal adjustment issues related to summer school closures. The labor force participation rate fell to 61.4%, its lowest level since the 1970s, excluding the COVID-19 pandemic. Among workers in the key 25-54 age group, participation rose slightly but remained at low levels. The annual increase in average hourly wages was 3.2%, the slowest pace in nearly five years. This suggests that wage growth is not keeping pace with inflation. The sharp slowdown in the labor market has led to higher stock prices, while bond yields have fallen due to speculation that the Federal Reserve will not have to raise interest rates anytime soon. #Arabic_Business
