After strong jobs report, Treasury official discusses what it says about wider economy
Amna Nawaz:
Welcome to the “News Hour.”
The Labor Department today issued one of the last jobs reports before the presidential election and the numbers are strong; 254,000 jobs were added in September, beating expectations. The unemployment rate fell from 4.2 to 4.1 percent and wages were up, averaging a gain of about 4 percent compared to a year ago.
Overall, the report paints a picture of a robust American economy, which, for most voters, remains their top issue this election year.
For more, let’s turn now to Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo.
Welcome back to the “News Hour.” Thanks for joining us.
