The August jobs report fell short of expectations, with the economy adding 142,000 jobs. Yahoo Finance healthcare reporter Anjalee Khemlani and housing...
The construction sector showed strength, adding 34,000 jobs in August. Within this sector, heavy and civil engineering contributed 14,000 new positions. Non-residential construction jobs saw increased additions, likely boosted by the bipartisan Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act. However, residential construction showed softness, reflecting ongoing weakness in the housing market .
So that's really getting to the boost from the bipartisan Infrastructure Act and then residential construction is a little bit, a little bit unpredictable. Actually, this for uh this month, we saw 31,000 jobs added of that 24,000 attributed to ambulatory care, which has been the stronger contributor to the gains and then 10,000 in hospitals and the 31,000 is half of the monthly gains that we've been seeing that, that that average.
And the wage issue will actually help with that because what we've seen is a decrease in the average wage for this sector. Karen Read, the Massachusetts woman accused of hitting her boyfriend with her SUV and leaving him for dead in a blizzard, spoke out about finding her fatally wounded partner in a new TV interview.A clip from an upcoming 20/20 special about her trial aired Friday morning on Good Morning America. Her first trial for the alleged murder of John O’Keefe, a Boston police officer, ended in a mistrial in July, with a new trial scheduled to take place in January.
