Employment Situation News Release -- Employment Report June

 

Nonfarm payroll employment fell by 125,000 in June, and the
unemployment rate edged down to 9.5 percent.  The decline in
employment reflects a large drop in the number of temporary
workers for Census 2010.  The number of jobs in the private
sector edged up (+83,000), due to modest increases in several
industries.  Private sector employment has risen by 593,000 so
far in 2010, but in June was 7.9 million below its prerecession
level.
