CNBC: 142,000 Jobs Added in August, Below Expectations of 161,000

EXCERPT:

LIESMAN: "142,000 versus July, which revised down to 89,000 from 114,000. June, big revision, to 118 from 179. I cannot do the math. Somebody do 11 and 14 for me — that's 25,000 for the July revision, and it looks like — 61,000. So what’s 25 and 61? It’s 87 — or 86? Is that right? So big revision down for the prior two months. I'm looking at the unemployment, it did tick down to 4.2% from 4.3, right in line with consensus."
