The Labor Department reports the unemployment rate at 3.5 percent, a fourth consecutive August low, with 68.6 million nonfarm payroll jobs. A surge in trade and service sectors plus local government gains contributed, while teen and women labor force participation declined. About 13 million youths aged 16 to 21 were in the labor force, 550,000 more than last year, with roughly 100,000 of the added youths unable to find work.
