Weekly Market Report
For Week Ending September 5, 2026
The economy added 162,000 jobs in August, more than three times what forecasters expected, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The strong report, combined with upward revisions to prior months, suggests the job market remains resilient despite higher borrowing costs. Residential construction added 7,300 positions as builders continue to address housing supply. For buyers weighing their options, the robust employment picture signals stability — but it also raises the odds that the Federal Reserve may raise rates at its September meeting, making now a potentially opportune time to lock in financing.
