            <description><![CDATA[New labor data shows the U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs in July, when economists had predicted modest growth. Revised numbers for May and June also show 103,000 fewer jobs created than originally reported. The unemployment rate ticked down, from 4.2% to 4.1%, a function of fewer people seeking jobs. Amna Nawaz discussed the numbers with Heather Long, chief economist with Navy Federal Credit Union. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
