Employers added only 22,000 jobs in August, and the unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.3 percent. Revised data also showed that employment fell by 13,000 jobs in June, the first net loss since December 2020.

Modular construction is emerging as the go-to strategy for US liquefied natural gas developers to reduce costs, shorten project timelines and navigate supply chain pressures.
