Consensus forecast (per AP / FactSet) was for +140,000 jobs and for UR to remain at 4.2%, so actual figures surprised on the high side for jobs and on the low side for UR.
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised up by 55,000, from +89,000
to +144,000, and the change for August was revised up by 17,000, from +142,000 to +159,000.
With these revisions, employment in July and August combined is 72,000 higher than previously
reported.
