- The Bureau of Labor Statistics released data showing that employment increased by 73,000 positions in July 2025, while job gains for May and June were substantially lowered by a total of 258,000.

- Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer highlighted that half of the recent job gains went to foreign workers and emphasized prioritizing American-born workers as the labor market faces hiring slowdowns and job seeker dissatisfaction.
