July Payrolls Soar By 255K, Smashing Expectations As Wages Rise More Than Expected: Rate Hike Eyed
So much for payrolls tracking declining tax withholdings.
With many expecting a payrolls whisper number to come below the
consensus print of 180K, moments ago the BLS reported that July payrolls
soared by 255K, above even the highest Wall Street forecast, and a
number made even more impressive by the upward revision to the June
print from 287K to 292K. The unemployment rate remained flat at 4.9%, on
expectations of a modest drop to 4.8%.Finally, making a strong case for a December (or even September, however, the Fed will never hike before the election) rate hike, were the average hourly earnigs which rose 0.3%, above the 0.2% expected, and well above last month’s 0.1%, and rising 2.7% compared to a year ago.

The amount of energy and time necessary to refute bullshit, is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it. To refute this stinking pile of "jobs" bull dung would require prodigious effort!
