The August Jobs Report: 8 Things You Need To Know

7.  Since the Great Recession started, the economy has created a total of more than four million jobs. Of course, it lost more than nine million at the depths of the recession. Still, a nice looking comeback.

8.  Lastly, June and July both created 245k jobs. The last time two months had the exact same jobs number? Since 1939, it has only happened once and that was October and November of 1986 at 186k.

So there you go, now you are up to speed on the whole jobs thing and the August jobs report. I hope you are enjoying the Labor Day weekend.
