U.S. Job Growth Slows in June with Payroll Increase of 57,000; Unemployment at 4.2%

2 Temmuz 2026CNBC

In June, U.S. job creation slowed significantly, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by only 57,000, falling short of the anticipated 115,000.
The unemployment rate also dipped slightly to 4.2%, down from the expected 4.3%. This marks a notable cooling in the labor market, raising concerns about economic momentum.
The labor market has been a focal point for economists, especially as the Federal Reserve navigates inflationary pressures and interest rate adjustments. The June job numbers come amid ongoing discussions about the sustainability of economic growth in the face of rising costs and global uncertainties.
The lower-than-expected job growth signals a potential slowdown in the U.S. economy, which could influence the Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates.
