They were expecting 225,000 and the number appears to be "only" 216,000.
That's 9000 "less than expected". Great.
Meanwhile, the June numbers just got adjusted up 20,000 higher.
And the July numbers were adjusted up 30,000.
Does ANYONE think that these new number for August as truly "less than expected"????? Wait a month, then see that the adjusted number is higher than the 225,000 that was "expected".
It's still getting worse than they were expecting. It's not turning around.
Doesn’t matter! The Stock Market is up. Hooray!
