U.s. Unemployment Rate Drops To 5.3%

The United States labor market put in a tepid performance in June, with the addition of only 223,000 jobs, according to a report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday. That was short of analysts’ exceptions, which put estimates for June job growth in the 225,000 to 230,000 territory. According to the household survey, unemployment declined to a seven-year low of 5.3% in June, after inching up to 5.5% in May. Though the jobs report’s top line numbers were not too bad, a closely-watched sub-indicator didn’t show such good news: hourly wages remained flat in June.
