The stats are generated by a BLS java applet and it appears it can't be directly linked to. Go to the BLS site and I believe the applet is under "tools"
You can directly link to a bls report: LNS12000000
If you look at the graph you'll see that then trend is up and took a slight dip in August.
But you are correct there where less people employed in August than there were in July, however this is not the first time this has happened.
