Who runs the labor market? Women accounted for 98% of U.S. job gains in August

Who runs the world—or the U.S. labor market—in August? Girls.

Women accounted for almost every job added to the U.S. economy in August, an extraordinary statistic within a jobs report full of surprises.
The economy added 162,000 jobs last month, nearly triple most economists' projections of around 55,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of those gains, women accounted for 158,000 of them, roughly 98% of the net increase in payroll employment.
