Hiring was stronger than expected in June, with U.S. employers adding 224,000 jobs, showing a strong labor market could propel a domestic economy facing threats from abroad
WASHINGTON—U.S. employers added jobs at a robust pace in June, easing fears of a hiring slowdown and showing a strong labor market could propel a domestic economy facing threats from abroad.
Nonfarm payrolls rose by 224,000 in June, the Labor Department said Friday. The jobless rate last month ticked up to 3.7% in part because more Americans entered the labor force to look for a job. Wages advanced 3.1% from a year earlier, consistent with the prior month’s pace.
