US weekly jobless claims total 275,000 vs 275,000 estimate:
"The economy added 173,000 jobs in August, the fewest in five months. Economists, however, dismissed the step-down from July's gain of 245,000 jobs as a technical distortion. A report on Wednesday showed job openings surged to a record high in July, suggesting solid labor demand in the near term.
Thursday's claims report showed the number of people still receiving benefits after an initial week of aid rose 1,000 to 2.26 million in the week ended Aug. 29."
