Companies hired 135,000 more workers in the month, ahead of the 125,000 that economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected.
That was a drop from the 157,000 in August, a number that itself saw a sharp downward revision from the initially reported 195,000.

If businesses pull back any further, unemployment will begin to rise." At the sector level, education and health services saw the fastest growth with 42,000 positions. Trade, transportation and utilities was next with 28,000, while professional and business services grew by 20,000. Leisure and hospitality added 18,000 as part of a total growth of 127,000 on the services side.
showed the sector is contracting, though not yet at a rate consistent with a recession. Other economic data has been relatively strong, though, particularly on the consumer side.
