Nonfarm Payrolls Rise by 175,000, Missing Expectations as Unemployment Rate Edges Up to 3.9%

Nonfarm payrolls rose by 175,000 last month, falling short of the anticipated 240,000 increase projected by a Dow Jones consensus. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged up to 3.9%, contrary to expectations that it would remain at 3.8%.

非農業部門雇用者数は前月に比べて17万5000人増えたが、ダウ・ジョーンズの予測していた24万人増には届かず、市場の期待を下回った。同時に、失業率は予想に反して3.8%から3.9%に上昇した。
