Summary
Job growth is surging back with 172,000 new hires in May — the third straight month of gains, with March and April numbers revised up. Restaurants and healthcare led the charge, while finance saw cuts. Average monthly gains now hit 188,000, unemployment holds steady at 4.3%, and wages barely rose 3.4% — giving the Fed reason to focus on inflation, not rate cuts, ahead of next week’s key report.
