US total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 151,000 in August, below market consensus of 175,000, and the unemployment rate remained at 4.9 per cent, the Labor Department reported on Friday.
In August, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 3 cents to $25.73. Over the year, average hourly earnings have risen by 2.4 per cent.
Analysts said the closely-watched nonfarm payroll report has greatly dented market expectation for an interest-rate hike as early as September, but it is solid enough to spur speculation for a December-hike.
The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, was up 0.20 per cent at 95.849 in late trading.
