"Job growth totalled 73,000 for the month, above the June total of 14,000 but below even the meagre Dow Jones estimate for a gain of 100,000. June and May totals were revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258,000 from previously announced levels. At the same time, the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, in line with the forecast."

• June was revised down from 147,000 to 14,000.
• May was revised down from 144,000 to 19,000.
