1 hour agoTrump thinks a weaker dollar is great for America. Is he right?
The U.S. dollar has weakened significantly, helping exporters but raising import costs and reflecting investor concerns about U.S. economic policy.
U.S. employers added just 22,000 jobs last month as the labor market continued to cool under uncertainty over President Donald Trump's economic policies. The Labor Department said Friday that hiring decelerated from 79,000 in July. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%, also worse than expected and the highest level since 2021, the Labor Department reported Friday.
