U.S. revised July manufacturing employment change (thousands) fell short of expectations: 5 vs 4

U.S. July revised manufacturing employment change hit 5k, beating the 4k forecast and 3k prior, signaling resilience that may support Fed tightness.

The revised manufacturing employment change in the U.S. for July was 5,000, higher than the expected 4,000 and the previous figure of 3,000.
