美国8月非农新增16.2万人，失业率持稳4.1%

GEOFF BENNETT: Good evening. I'm Geoff Bennett. Amna Nawaz is on assignment. On the "News Hour" tonight: The U.S. job market remains resilient in the face of global economic pressures, but wages aren't keeping pace with inflation. A mistrial is declared in the Lindsay Clancy case after jurors are unable to reach a verdict. BRAD BAILEY, Criminal Defense Attorney: Light has been shed on this very little understood and woefully under-resourced mental disorder of postpartum psychosis.

GEOFF BENNETT: And the first mail ballots for the midterm elections are sent out, even while legal challenges to President Trump's voting restrictions play out in the courts. (BREAK) GEOFF BENNETT: Welcome to the "News Hour." We begin tonight with a look at the job market, which delivered a surprising rebound in August, adding 162,000 jobs, far more than economists had expected. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.1 percent, and the Labor Department also revised its July numbers upward after initially reporting a loss of jobs that month.

The stronger-than-expected report comes as the Federal Reserve weighs whether to cut interest rates later this month. For a closer look at all of this, we're joined now by Roben Farzad, host of public radio's "Full Disclosure." Roben, it is always great to have you here. ROBEN FARZAD, Host, "Full Disclosure": Thank you, Geoff. GEOFF BENNETT: So let's make sense of the headline. Hiring was much stronger than expected in August, despite the uncertainty around the Iran war and President Trump's tariffs.

Where were the strongest gains coming from? ROBEN FARZAD: Leisure, hospitality, FOMO spending. If I hear one more anecdote about a very wealthy boomer grandmother with a puff 401(k) or two houses and enjoying that 3 percent mortgage wanting to splurge on the grandkids, fly them first class, of course, that is a subset of the economy where people are lucky and blessed and fortunate enough to have assets. If you are a wage earner, if you are a blue-collar worker, you are not keeping up with inflation.

It's still coldly comforting to see. OK, this many, 160,000 jobs are created, unemployment rate 4 percent. Well, A.I. is coming for my jobs. My kid can't get a job, and I can't afford to make ends meet with interest rates where they are right now. I have to use credit card debt to buy groceries. So, very much that K-shaped theme that still persists. GEOFF BENNETT: And where are we seeing the weaknesses? ROBEN FARZAD: You're seeing it in information technology and professional services, I think, where there are lots of deer in the headlight stuff, like wow, A.I. is around the corner.

Speak, for example, to a money manager I know who's one of -- one of the her deputies left for paternity leave and in that process discovered all the different things she could do, all the different salaries she could retire with Claude and ChatGPT. And if you take that in stereo across Wall Street, across the consulting firms, H&R Blocks, tax firms, and the
