U.S. employers added 206,000 jobs in June, more than expected and slightly below the revised 218,000 added in May, a sign the labor market remains solid. The unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4.1% vs. 4%
This as both April and May data points were adjusted lower by a combined 111,000, signaling fewer jobs created. This may please the Federal Reserve, which is looking for signs inflation is easing.
