Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: WASHINGTON (AP) — Hiring picked up in August as U.S. employers added a strong 201,000 jobs, a sign of confidence that consumers and businesses will keep spending despite the Trump administration's conflicts with U.S. trading partners. 
  
 The Labor Department says the unemployment rate remained 3.9 percent, near an 18-year low. 
  
 Americans' paychecks grew at a faster pace. Average hourly wages rose in August and are now 2.9 percent higher than they were a year earlier, the fastest annual gain in eight years. Still, after adjusting for inflation, pay has been flat for the past year. 
  
 The economy is expanding steadily, fueled by tax cuts, confident consumers, greater business investment in equipment and more government spending. Growth reached 4.2 percent at an annual rate in the April-June quarter, the fastest pace in four years. ||||| One sector to keep an eye on in future jobs reports: manufacturing. 
  
 The sector was little changed last month on the employment front, losing 3,000 jobs, a slowdown for one of the economy's bright spots in recent months. Although the dip ended a streak of 12 consecutive months of job additions, the group is still up 254,000 jobs in the past year. 
  
 Some lukewarm manufacturing data points have started to worry some analysts, and investor sentiment toward large U.S. manufacturs has also taken a hit due to continuing trade fights. 
  
 Dean Baker, a senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, notes that wage gains also grew 1.8% from a year earlier in the sector, lagging behind other groups. 
  
 "While it is far too early to determine if the Trump administration's trade policy is responsible for this weakness, it seems clear that it is not showing obvious benefits at this point," he says in a note. 
  
 But even with the drop off for the manufacturing sector, strength in professional and business services, health care and construction lifted the headline jobs number. |||||

Hiring picked up in August as US employers added a stronger-than-expected 201,000 jobs, a sign of confidence that consumers and businesses will keep spending despite the Trump administration's conflicts with trading partners, per the AP.

The Wall Street Journal notes that stock futures dropped and the dollar surged in the immediate aftermath of the report's release—on fears the Fed will step up rate increases with wages and inflation on the rise.
