U.S. economy unexpectedly LOST 23,000 jobs in July

About this episode

The U.S. economy unexpectedly lost 23,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in July, missing the Dow Jones consensus forecast of an 83,000 gain by a wide margin.
According to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report, this sudden hiring slump stems from intense macroeconomic strains, including elevated inflation, the economic drag of the ongoing war in Iran, and aggressive immigration crackdowns restricting the workforce.
