The US added 173,000 jobs in August, the Department of Labor said on Friday, in the last unemployment report before September’s interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve.
That was lower than the 217,000 new jobs economists had expected the US economy to create last month.
However, the Labor Department said that August figures tended to be revised higher subsequently.
The unemployment rate fell to 5.1% – down from the July figure of 5.3%
