Only 96,000 jobs added while expectations were that 158,000 would be added. So it is ~40% lower than expected and close to 60% lower than the number of jobs GWB's administration promised with their "job stimulation" tax cut plan.
The unemployment rate stayed at 5.4%, though that's still well above the 4% range it was at when GWB took office.

Its the last full monthyl report before the election, though there will likely be another revision released before the election.
Both the republican and democrat spin machines are starting to be very active in their interpretations of the September report.
The tough thing (besides the actually contents of the report) for GWB is that the report came out before the start of the 2nd debate so it gives Kerry more ammunition.
