🇺🇸 U.S. Unemployment Rises to 4.3% in June, Slightly Above Expectations 📊
The U.S. unemployment rate for June 2025 has ticked up to 4.3%, rising from 4.2% in May and slightly above market expectations. This marks the highest jobless rate since early 2021, signaling potential signs of a cooling labor market.
Analysts suggest the data could influence the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rate cuts, especially as inflation pressures ease. While not alarming, the uptick may reflect slower hiring momentum across key sectors.
Markets will now be watching closely for July’s numbers to see if this trend continues or stabilizes.
