The U.S. Labor Department said that nonfarm jobs increased by 162,000 in August.

This number is far above the experts' forecast of 65,000.

Last month, average hourly wages rose only 3.1% from a year earlier, the slowest increase since May 2021.

However, some economists said the August rebound was just a reaction to the weak previous three months.

This jobs report could raise the chance that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will increase its key interest rate at its September meeting.

Meanwhile, the information industry lost 23,000 jobs last month. Analysts say this is a result of artificial intelligence (AI) replacing human work.
