U.S. employers added just 22,000 jobs in August.  A small gain in health care jobs was partially offset by continued cutbacks in the federal government.

The U.S. job market showed more signs of weakness Friday, as the Labor Department reported just 22,000 jobs added last month. Revised figures show the economy lost jobs in June, and the unemployment rate inched up to 4.3%.
