““Despite no change in average hourly earnings in July, the rise in payrolls should be enough to generate a further rise in income,” said Paul Dales, senior US economist at Capital Economics. “This will allow consumption growth to rise in the second half of the year.” Almost all of the jobs growth came from the private services sector, with business services adding 47,000 positions. Healthcare and the leisure sector remained static, with no meaningful change from June. Construction added 22,000 jobs and manufacturing put on 28,000. The Fed revealed on Wednesday that the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee believed that labour resources were being underutilised and there was more capacity for improvement, revising its previous views that the unemployment rate was “elevated”.””
