Description
In August, the US economy added only 235,000 jobs, much less than economists were expecting. The hiring blitz at bars and restaurants came to an abrupt halt in August as more Covid-19 cases and a scarcity of willing workers kept employers from adding to payrolls. CNBC’s analysis of the August 2021 jobs report shows a loss of 42,000 jobs in food services and drinking places last month. Nela Richardson of ADP, Jason Furman of Harvard, and CNBC’s Steve Liesman and Rick Santelli discuss the disappointing August jobs report. Former FDA Commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, predicts that Northeastern states, including New York and Connecticut, will experience another jump in Covid cases tied to the highly transmissible delta variant. Dr. Gottlieb recommends that schools that have brought kids back for in-person learning should increase coronavirus testing, in addition to masking and improving ventilation. Plus, Cathie Wood says auto buyers are abandoning gas-powered vehicles, but CNBC’s Phil LeBeau reports on the reality of car sales, electric and otherwise.
