PANews, July 3 - According to Jin Shi reports, the U.S. job market showed robust performance in June, with non-farm payrolls increasing by 147,000, higher than the revised 144,000 in May; the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.1%, while economists had previously expected a slight rise to 4.3%. The report indicates that the labor market remains stable, which could delay the Federal Reserve's decision to restart rate cuts until September. Although job growth exceeded expectations, the pace is slowing, mainly reflecting weak hiring activity. Layoffs remain quite low, as employers generally hoarded workers during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, finding it difficult to locate labor. Several indicators, including first-time jobless claims and those receiving unemployment benefits, show that the labor market is showing signs of fatigue after a strong performance that protected the economy from recession. At that time, the Federal Reserve significantly tightened monetary policy to combat high inflation.
