Economic Report: Job creation not keeping up with population of workers entering market

Economic Report:

Even as the unemployment rate drops, the United States continues to miss numbers needed to keep pace with growth of the working population. Employers created 128,000 jobs in August causing the jobless rate to drop from 4.8 percent in July to 4.7 percent in August. Most economists estimate that nearly 150,000 news jobs need to be created each month to keep pace with new workers entering the market. In July only 121,000 new jobs were added. The service sector led the creation of new jobs in August with 118,000 new positions.
