US labour market slowdown sparks Fed questions

US job growth slows to 75,000 in August, prompting key insights on economy, markets, and Federal Reserve decisions with Kyle Rodda.

Joining us is Kyle Rodda to break down what the numbers mean for markets, future interest rate decisions, and why wage growth could be the factor to watch.
