The jobs comes at the end of a busy week for the economy, with Wednesday's GDP report showing the economy expanded at a 4% annualized pace in the second quarter.

Concurrent with the release of the jobs report, the BEA will release the latest personal income and outlays report which contains "core" PCE, the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation.

We'll be back with the live numbers when they hit.
