Recent reports indicated a notable increase in U.S. payrolls, with an addition of 147,000 jobs in June, surpassing analysts’ expectations. A significant share of this increase was due to an exceptionally high increase in government employment, which contributed 73,000 jobs. This increase was mostly due to strong hiring at state and local government levels, especially in education-related roles.
The job market continues to look very rosy! The unemployment rate has fallen to 4.1%, a surprise to forecasters who thought it would increase to 4.3%. This decline highlighted the resilience of the job market amidst various economic pressures. Incredible gains were seen across health care sectors, as they added 39,000 jobs, with social assistance sectors adding another 19,000 jobs.
As it turns out, job growth during this period was more vigorous than most people expected. That is notable both for the major numerical improvement in jobs and for implications of this being a major positive indicator for wage growth. Average hourly earnings ticked up by 0.2% this month. In relation to 2022, they were up an astounding 3.7%!
