Your Friday Briefing: Everything You Need to Know About the Dow Jones Today in Three Minutes

The Dow Jones today jumped in premarketed trading after the U.S. Labor Department announced that the U.S. economy added 157,000 jobs in July.

That figure fell short of the 190,000 spots that economists had projected.

It was also the lowest increase in positions since March 2018.

However, the 3.9% unemployment rate is close to the lowest level that we've seen the official unemployment rate since the late 1960s.
