Jobs report: Private-sector job growth notably weaker in June amid rising economic uncertainty
Below, EPI senior economist Elise Gould offers her insights on the jobs report for June released this morning. Read the full thread here.
Given recent economic uncertainty private-sector gains were notably weaker in June, up just 74k. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1% with another drop in the labor force. The only real boost was in state+local educ—maybe a seasonal quirk. More losses in manufacturing and federal jobs.

The public sector had an unusual ride in June with state and local education jobs up 63,500. I’m tempted to believe that’s due to a quirk with seasonal adjustments and the timing of the end of the school year. Federal employment continued to fall, down 69,000 jobs since January.

The payroll survey is the gold standard but it’s hard to ignore some weakness in the household survey. The labor force fell 625k in May and another 130k in June. And yet, the prime-age employment-to-population ratio ticked up slightly in June and remains just above it’s pre-pandemic level.

Black unemployment is a notably volatile series given smaller sample sizes so it’s important to watch trends over several months. That said, the increase in Black unemployment to 6.8% is hard to ignore, given it hasn’t been that high since January 2022. A key indicator to watch in coming reports.

Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases a report on the employment situation for the previous month. Their release includes data on job growth, unemployment, and wage growth, which gives us a snapshot of the health of the economy and whether it’s working for ordinary Americans.

Notes: Data are seasonally adjusted. Seasonally adjusted data for Less than 5 weeks, 5-14 weeks, 15-26 weeks, and 27+ weeks are provided by BLS. Seasonally adjusted data are not available for 52+ so we applied the ratio of not-seasonally adjusted 52+ to not-seasonally adjusted 27+ to the seasonally adjusted 27+ to impute a seasonally adjusted 52+. Seasonally adjusted data for 27-51 is estimated as the difference between our estimated 52+ seasonally adjust data and the 27+ seasonally adjusted data.
