From Breitbart: Employers in the United States added 147,000 workers to their payrolls in June, the Department of Labor said Thursday, and the unemployment rate declined to 4.1 percent, defying predictions of labor market sluggishness following the implementation of President Trump’s tariffs.
Economists had been expecting 110,000 jobs and an unemployment rate ticking up to 4.3 percent.
The April jobs report was revised up by 11,000, from a gain of 147,000 to 158,000. May was revised up by 5,000 to 144,000. Combined, the revisions added 16,000 jobs to the April and May reports.
The new jobs included 74,000 jobs in the private sector and 73,000 in the public sector. Federal government jobs decreased by 7,000.
From the BLS report:
Government employment rose by 73,000 in June. Employment in state government increased by 47,000, largely in education (+40,000). Employment in local government education continued to trend up (+23,000). Job losses continued in federal government (-7,000), where employment is down by 69,000 since reaching a recent peak in January. (Employees on paid leave or receiving
ongoing severance pay are counted as employed in the establishment survey.)Health care added 39,000 jobs in June, similar to the average monthly gain of 43,000 over the prior 12 months. In June, job gains occurred in hospitals (+16,000) and in nursing and residential care facilities (+14,000).
In June, social assistance employment continued to trend up (+19,000), reflecting continued growth in individual and family services (+16,000).
