The August employment report showed that the U.S. added 187,000 jobs in the month, with the unemployment rate rising to 3.8%. “This is as close to a perfect jobs report as frankly, you’re ever going to get” according to eToro Global Markets Strategist Ben Laidler. The report shows more people are coming back into the labor market and slowing wage growth according to Laidler. Laidler says the Fed "wants to be very very sure that inflation is back at that 2% number and the key to that is the jobs market."
