Trump tanks labor market amid dismal jobs report, with failing economic plan to grow U.S. economy.

Today the BLS reported payroll employment rose by only 22,000 in August. Analysts had forecast that the economy would add 75,000 jobs during the month. According to the agency, gains made in health care were offset by losses in federal government employment, as well as mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction. While July's figures were revised up to 79,000 from 73,000, June's numbers were revised down by 27,000, dropping from 14,000 to minus-13,000. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged up to 4.3 percent from 4.2 percent.
