The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday that U.S. employers added 173,000 new workers in August. This was below the 217,000 expected and below the 245,000 revision recorded in July. It was the lowest number of new workers since March and the second lowest in the past 19 months.
Within the report it showed that the Unemployment Rate fell to 5.1%, lowest since March 2008.
Now the market is waiting to see if the Fed will raise their Federal Funds rate this month.
