USA job report and its impact on the economy

The latest non-farm payrolls (NFP) report is excellent news for the U.S. economy. According to this report, the number of jobs created in June reached 224,000, which is the best result since January. It means that the latest USA job report is better than anyone expected at the beginning of the previous month. Analysts from Dow Jones thought that the number of new jobs would be around 165,000. The June jobs report surpassed this number by more than 59,000 which is a great result. In comparison with the previous month, the latest result is three times higher than in May. During the last month of the spring, the number of jobs added was only 72,000.

The unemployment rate rose from 3.6% to 3.7%. The reason why this happened is that according to the Labor Department is the increase in the number of people who are looking for a job. However, the unemployment rate is still one of the lowest in the last 50 years. It is worth mentioning that current U.S. economic expansion is the longest in modern U.S. history.

Another side of the USA job report is that average hourly earnings increased by 6 cents to $27.90 after 9-cent in May. The annual average gain is at the same level at 3.1. However, analysts predicted that average hourly earnings would increase by 0.3%, but in reality, it rose by 0.2%. In the last twelve months, salaries rose by 3.1% as mentioned above, while analysts expected that number to reach 3.2%. The average duration of the work hours remains the same at 34.4 hours.
