The overall eurozone PMI, tracking activity across the single currency region, fell to just 50.7 from 51.8 in July, closer to the 50-point of stagnation.
And the number of people employed across the manufacturing sector fell, although it was a mixed picture. The big-three nations of Germany, France and Italy all reported job losses, as did Greece. Staffing rose in Spain, the Netherlands, Austria and Ireland, but Ireland was the only nation to report a faster pace of hiring than in July.
