The job market wasn't quite as strong as forecast in August. The Labor Department says 156,000 new jobs were created under the 180,000 predicted. The unemployment rate increased a little, to 4.4 percent.

You made a little more money, but not much more, average hourly earnings increased by one-tenth of a percent. And the number of people working or looking for a job didn't change.

The labor force participation rate held steady at 62.9 percent.
