The US economy added 57,000 jobs in June, well below market expectations, while the unemployment rate changed little at 4.2%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Thursday.
Market estimates expected nonfarm payrolls to rise by 114,000 and the unemployment rate to come in at 4.3%.
Employment continued to trend up in professional and business services, social assistance and health care, while leisure and hospitality lost jobs.
Professional and business services added 36,000 jobs, while social assistance rose by 25,000, led by individual and family services. Health care employment increased by 22,000, though at a slower pace than its average monthly gain over the prior 12 months.
