U.S. payrolls increased by 147,000 in June, more than expected
- In June 2025, the U.S. labor market demonstrated unexpected strength by increasing employment by 147,000 positions, which contributed to lowering the unemployment rate to 4.1%.
- Job growth slowed compared to previous months, affected by lingering uncertainty from President Trump's tariff policies and earlier economic shifts.
- Most jobs added were in government and healthcare, while manufacturing lost 7,000 positions, and continuing claims held steady at 1.964 million.
- Economists had forecast only 110,000 new jobs, so the June figures mark a stronger-than-expected labor market supported by modest wage increases and stable layoffs.
- The resilient labor market suggests low layoffs and employer caution amid tariff impacts, potentially delaying Federal Reserve rate cuts in the near term.
