In what’s being termed a surprising turnaround, American businesses added double the number of employees in July than had been widely expected by most economists.
A total of 528,000 jobs were created last month, restoring all the jobs lost during the pandemic. Unemployment fell to 3.5%, the lowest it’s been since the global pandemic first hit in March, 2020.
July’s job creation was 130,000 more than than those produced in June, and the most since February.
