The US economy added only 156,000 jobs in August, less than recent months, according to the Labor Department.
The unemployment rate rose a bit to 4.4%, as fewer adults reported that they had a job during the month.
The Labor Department also revised down earlier estimates for job growth in both June and July by a total of 41,000 jobs, suggesting that the labor market is not as strong as it appeared to be a month ago.
