8/2/13, "Payrolls Miss 162K vs 185K Expected, June Revised Lower To 188K; Unemployment Rate 7.4%," Zero Hedge
"So much for the trends of beats: July nonfarm payrolls +162K missing
expectations of 185K; June was revised lower to 188K and the
unemployment rate dips from 7.5% to 7.4%. The rate dropped because the
civilian labor force declined from 155,835 to 155,798 or 37K, driven by
an increase of people not in labor force to 89,957 - just shy of the all
time high. This also means that the labor force participation rate once
again ticked down to 63.4% from 63.5%."...BLS Household Data
"The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons
(sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was essentially
unchanged at 8.2 million in July. These individuals were
working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they
were unable to find a full-time job. (See table A-8.)"...
