U.S. Employment Report — August 2026 Nonfarm payrolls: +162k (est. +55k) Unemployment rate: 4.1% (in line) Average hourly earnings: +0.3% MoM, +3.1% YoY (in line) Labor force participation: 61.6% (est. 61.5%) Private payrolls: +127k (est. +50k) Average workweek: 34.4 hours July payrolls revised to +21k (from −23k) Bottom line: The labor market came in stronger than expected, without an acceleration in wages. That raises the odds of a September rate hike, supports the dollar and bond yields, and pressures rate-sensitive stocks. September 11 CPI remains the key input for the Fed’s decision.
