• Total non-farm employment
increased by 217,000 jobs, the
fourth consecutive month of
200,000+ additions.
• Unemployment held steady at 6.3
percent.
• The U.S. economy has finally
regained all lost jobs and is currently
98,000 jobs above its previous peak.
• Growth was highly concentrated in
three major subsectors in May:
education and health, PBS and
leisure and hospitality.
• On a year-on-year basis, PBS has
been by far the leader among
subsectors, with core segments
contributing roughly four in five new
jobs.
• Although the public sector has shed
jobs in comparison to two years ago,
May marked the fourth consecutive
month of net increases in
government employment.
• White-collar unemployment
decreased to just 3.2 percent.
• Tech and energy are both on the up,
while total non-farm and office-using
job growth remain steady.
• Consumer confidence increased yet
again to 83.0 points, the third month
in a row above 80.0 points.
• Although slowing somewhat, online
help ads remain near peak at 4.9
million.
• Some Sunbelt markets are
increasing year-on-year gains in to
more than 4.0 percent.
• Midwestern and East Coast
geographies continue to grapple
with below-average employment
growth, some still contracting.
• The labor force participation rate is
stuck at its record low of 62.8
percent.
• Total unemployment dropped by
only 10 basis points to 12.2 percent
and is still nearly double the official
rate of 6.3 percent.
• A slowdown in office-using job
growth means that only one in four
new jobs in May was in PBS,
financial activities or information.
• Non-durable goods slowing down
goods-producing employment.
• High school graduate participation
fell to 57.9 percent.
