8月份经济新增就业岗位162，000个，而6月份和7月份雇主分别新增就业岗位31，000个和21，000个。但劳工统计局周五下调了过去两个月的数据，显示7月份市场失业10，000人，8月份就业岗位增加133，000人。

美联储主席凯文·沃什上个月表示，失业率“与充分就业保持一致”，并补充说，央行的最大就业和物价稳定的双重使命在“中期”内并不矛盾。

在央行加息四分之一个百分点后，美联储主席告诉记者：“经济增长--即确保持续、可持续、持久的经济增长--这就是我们所从事的工作。”
“Economic growth — that is ensuring continuous, sustainable, durable, economic growth — that’s the business we’re in,” the Fed chair told reporters, after the central bank raised interest rates by a quarter point.
沃什补充道：“我们今天所做的工作，我们将继续做的工作，是确保价格稳定，这可能意味着可持续、持久的经济增长可以持续更长时间。”
“And the job we did today, the job we’ll continue to do, is to ensure price stability, which can mean that sustainable, durable, economic growth can go on for longer,” Warsh added.
