US economy creates a low 96,000 jobs in August

     The American economy has created 96,000 jobs in August. But the figure is said to be lower than expected, analysts have said. A report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the United States, which reported about the 96,000 jobs, also claimed that revisions to the June and July data meant that 41,000 fewer jobs were created than previously reported, BBC reports. Analysts had expected non-farm payrolls to grow by 125,000 last month. The bureau said cited that the unemployment rate fell to 8.1%, compared with 8.3% in July, but only because more people gave up looking for work. Employment increased in food services and drinking places, professional and technical services and healthcare during August, the Bureau said. The bureau also claimed that the employment growth has averaged 139,000 a month in 2012, compared with an average monthly gain of 153,000 in 2011. The weak figures could put pressure on President Barack Obama in his re-election campaign, given than rival Mitt Romney has put jobs at the centre of the national debate, the report said.
