美国7月非农意外减少2.3万，失业率降至4.1%

AMNA NAWAZ: Good evening. I'm Amna Nawaz. Geoff Bennett is away. On the "NewsHour" tonight: The U.S. jobs market unexpectedly stalls in July, raising new questions about the strength of the economy. Colombia's new president vows to fight his country's powerful drug traffickers with the help of the U.S. And we explore why so many in Maui are still stuck in limbo three years after the island's devastating wildfires. WARREN FREELAND, Front Street Recovery: Everybody that I have talked to without exception wants to rebuild, just rebuild what they had before.

(BREAK) AMNA NAWAZ: Welcome to the "News Hour." New labor data out today shows the U.S. economy lost jobs last month when economists had predicted modest growth. In all, there was net loss of 23,000 jobs in July. Newly revised numbers from May and June also showed 103,000 fewer jobs created than originally reported. The unemployment rate ticked down from 4.2 percent to 4.1, a function of fewer people seeking jobs. Joining us with a look at what the numbers mean is Heather Long.

She's the chief economist with Navy Federal Credit Union. Great to see you. HEATHER LONG, Chief Economist, Navy Federal Credit Union: Thanks for having me. AMNA NAWAZ: So this is not the jobs report many people were expecting. Where do you see the biggest weaknesses here? HEATHER LONG: Yes, this was a real wakeup call, definitely a bleak report. As you pointed out, it wasn't just week in July with those losses. And they were pretty broad-based.

Hospitality sector lost jobs. Education lost jobs. Retail, and even the financial sector, I mean, with the stock market doing so well, lost jobs. But you also had revisions down, as you mentioned, in May and June. And I think that's what really shifted the view on Wall Street and here in Washington about how well this economy is actually doing. The belief was that things were maybe getting a little better, that hiring was picking up, and that's really been dashed after this report.

AMNA NAWAZ: Let's dig a little deeper into some of those. Job losses and hospitality in particular, how much of that would you attribute to the World Cup, which was largely played in the U.S. and ended in July? HEATHER LONG: Yes, it was definitely surprising to see job losses and hospitality in June and July. And I think it's both supply and demand. I know economic-speak here, but some of it is the affordability crisis.

Families just aren't going out to eat as often as they were before. And then, of course, the Tartan Army has left Boston. You don't have people kind of drinking the bars dry anymore. HEATHER LONG: I think also supply, labor supply is impacting hospitality. What I mean by that is, look, we all know what's going on with immigration policy. There are a lot of immigrants who traditionally work in the hospitality sector. Some places are reporting difficulty finding enough workers now.

AMNA NAWAZ: That's where you're seeing the crackdown show up in the data. AMNA NAWAZ: There were some are
