> US nonfarm payrolls fell by 23,000 last month, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday. Payroll figures for May and June were also revised down by a combined 103,000. The unemployment rate declined to 4.1% as labor force participation continued to weaken, while wage growth slowed.
