Time now to check in on the trending stories in the business world.
I want to bring in charters, Christen Scher
from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
Christen a big report out this morning on the state of the job market.
What did we learn? Hannah? That's right.
So this morning,
the labor department released its monthly jobs report this one for September
and it showed that the US economy added
336,000 jobs during the month topping expectations.
Well,
that's actually up from a revised 227,000 jobs in August and it is
a sign of economic resilience as companies are confident enough to keep hiring.
Well, August and July jobs data were both revised upward from previous estimates.
Meantime, average hourly earnings,
they increased 2/10 of a percent from August of 4.2% from a year ago.
And the monthly unemployment rate in September
was 3.8% that was unchanged from August.
