this is some measure of accountability for them. thank you, fred. let s get a check on business. a look at markets around the world, relief. markets in china on holiday. wall street, futures up a wlil bit this morning. talk of some kind of solution on the debt ceiling means gains on wall street. started yesterday. the dow closed up 102 points. the s&p 500, the nasdaq also eked out gains. some good news in the job market to tell you about. a private sector payroll report showed 568,000 private sector jobs were added last month. that s easing some concerns about what we could see tomorrow from the big government jobs report for september. economists predict about 500,000 jobs were added back to the economy. that would be a big improvement from only 235,000 jobs in august. and the jobless rate is expected to slip to 5.1%. economists are hoping, hoping that widespread vaccination rates and rising wages will get people back to work, especially
adding some 30,000 fewer jobs. now we are seeing warning signs that the president s trade war is affecting the manufacturing sector. how does that fit in to what the president needed. was there a level to distract here? i think so. the economy is no doubt a huge part of that. economists predicted 140,000 to 160,000 jobs in august. that number you reported, 130,000 fell short of that. he doesn t quite hit the target, noting that many of those were temporary jobs or don t count as full employment.
the department of labor released its numbers, the expectation of the economy creating 356,000 jobs in august. that missed the wall street expectation of 180,000, it s down from 190,000 created in july. the unemployment rate edged higher to 4.4%. it is expected to hold steady at 4.3. we ll be right back..
do you think that will harm the president s chances in north carolina? a state that, you know, he took north carolina four years ago. a lot of people would like to see him take it again. rather have a dry crowd than a wet crowd. i ve been in charlotte and it s raining off and on all week. it s a right decision to move it inside and every presidential address to a convention has been held at an indoor and basketball/hockey style arena. this is more consistent than denver. doesn t rain in denver. so four years ago it was easy to do, i think they made the right decision. time was of the essence to make the move and switch. let s move on the economy and selection as we talk about this, this morning we received these new job numbers. let s show everybody, private-sector creating 201,000 jobs in august. they also revised though the july figures to higher.
