Jobs Rise Less Than Expected, "Number 1 Data Point of the Month"

Kevin Hincks dives into the August non-farm payrolls report which came in below estimates and revealed only 22k added jobs last month. Kevin says this now turns the focus to interest rates after it continues a trend of weak employment data this week including JOLTS and Jobless Claims. He adds the revisions to June and July painted slightly different pictures, but says what's weak for the U.S. economy isn't necessarily bad for the stock market. Kevin says inflation data and the Fed's September meeting will be "crucial" indicators for a "locked in" 25bps rate cut.
