- Job growth in July fell short of expectations, indicating a potential slowdown in the U.S. economy, though not necessarily a recession, according to the Labor Department’s report.
- Nonfarm payrolls increased by 187,000, slightly below the anticipated 200,000, but still an improvement from the revised June figure of 185,000.
