The US Employment Situation -- June 2026

From bls.gov

Both total nonfarm payroll employment (+57,000) and the unemployment rate (4.2 percent) changed little in June, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment continued to trend up in professional and business services, social assistance, and health care. Leisure and hospitality lost jobs. This news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures labor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment survey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. For more information about the concepts and statistical ... (full story)

U.S. economy added 57,000 jobs in June, less than expected; unemployment rate at 4.2%

From cnbc.com

The U.S. economy saw job creation cool sharply heading into the summer, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday. Nonfarm payrolls for June increased by a seasonally adjusted 57,000 for the month, slower than the downwardly revised 129,000 added in May and worse than the 115,000 Dow Jones consensus forecast. The unemployment rate, however, dropped to 4.2%, and slightly ahead of the 4.1% where it was a year ago.

Added at 7:33am

The U.S. economy added 57,000 jobs in June and revisions subtracted a combined 74,000 jobs from the previously reported figures for May and April. The unemployment rate edged down to 4.2%.

Leisure and hospitality employment declined by 61,000 in June.

I remember you. You're the guy who was non-stop complaining because your "custom momentum indicator" couldn't make you money in April-May when the indices markets went - STRAIGHT UP. A monkey could hit the buy button and be profitable during that time. How are you doing?

No, that means FED will be looking for more such data that supports that the US economy is weakening, if the data supports that then we could see FED cutting rate but not in near future.

Bes thing one can do for thyself is to sit on thy hands, watch the vultures do their thing for about 3-4 hours then take up the opposite side of what is happening right now as that's how it always goes/plays out but no, you will force trades and be chasing candles and end up blowing ur account

They did, or you did?

You will stop making dumb expensive mistakes when you accept they are your fault. Then you will study your decisions and improve them. Instead of blaming someone else, learning nothing, and repeating the same mistake again and again and again.

I'm not criticizing you cuz I'm better than you. I had to learn the same lesson.

A cooler reading on payrolls in June, which broke a three-month hot streak, is still likely to keep Federal Reserve officials' full attention on inflation and extend the interest rate pause, while preserving the hawks' case for potential rate hikes later this year.
