June Jobs Report Shows Crack in Private Sector as Immigration Slows

  • In June, the U.S. economy saw an increase of 147,000 jobs, leading the unemployment rate to decline to 4.1%, as revealed in data published on Thursday.
  • This job growth exceeded economists' expectations despite a slowdown influenced by reduced immigration and economic uncertainty from tariffs and policy changes.
  • Government jobs expanded by 73,000 including state and local education positions, while the private sector underperformed with 74,000 jobs added and manufacturing losing 7,000 jobs.
  • In June, average hourly earnings increased by 0.2 percent compared to May and were 3.7 percent higher than the previous year, while the number of individuals classified as long-term unemployed rose to 1.6 million.
  • The data suggests a stable labor market but raises concerns about sustained private sector growth amid demographic shifts and ongoing policy uncertainty.
