in September (-33,000). Likely reflecting
effects from Hurricanes Irma and Harvey,

employment had increased by an average
172,000 per month.
Employment, hours, and earnings data for
September reflect ongoing job market trends
along with effects of both Hurricane Harvey in
Texas and Hurricane Irma in Florida. For more

The employment change for July was
revised down from +189,000 to +138,000, and
the change for August revised up from
+156,000 to +169,000.
Average hourly earnings rose by 12 cents or
0.5 percent over the month, following a 4-cent
gain in August. Hourly earnings were up 2.9
percent over the year. Average weekly hours
were unchanged at 34.4 hours.
