- The Labor Department's report released Friday showed an increase of 139,000 jobs in the U.S. Nonfarm payrolls during May.
- This followed downward revisions totaling 95,000 jobs for March and April, amid concerns about tariffs and high interest rates.
- Most of the new jobs were created in sectors such as medical services, entertainment, food service, and community support, while employment within the federal government shrank by 22,000 positions.
- Hourly wages increased by 3.9% from the previous year to reach $36.24, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.2%, in line with expectations.
- The report indicates slowing job growth in 2025 but suggests labor market stability, supporting the Federal Reserve's steady interest rate approach.
