U.S. Added Fewer Jobs Than Reported This Year

August 21, 2024 at 12:21 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“The U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs from April 2023 through March this year than were originally reported,” the AP reports.

“The revised total adds to evidence that the job market has been steadily slowing and likely reinforces the Federal Reserve’s plan to start cutting interest rates soon.”
