BLS: U.S. Economy Adds 57,000 Jobs in June, Falling Short of Expectations

by John Nelson July 6, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. economy added 57,000 jobs in June, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The figure is in line with the +36,000 monthly jobs added on average over the past 12 months but well short of May’s job total — which the BLS downwardly revised from 172,000 to 129,000 — as well as the 115,000 jobs forecasted by Dow Jones economists, according to CNBC. The BLS also revised April’s job gains from 179,000 to 148,000, making the employment in April and May combined 74,000 fewer jobs than previously reported. Additionally, the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.2 percent. Among employment sectors, professional and business services added the most net new jobs in June (+36,000). The industry has added 172,000 jobs since a recent low in October 2025, according to the BLS. Social assistance added 25,000 jobs in June, which is above its monthly average of 16,000 jobs over the past 12 months, while healthcare continued to add jobs (+22,000) but at a slower clip than its 12-month average (+38,000).

Southwest Florida’s Industrial Market Is Primed for a Surge

by John Nelson July 6, 2026

When it comes to the Florida commercial real estate market, the conversation typically gravitates toward the larger metro areas. However, for those of us on the ground, it’s clear that Southwest Florida is becoming a key player in the state, particularly for industrial users. By nearly every measurable standard — population growth, job creation and infrastructure investment — Southwest Florida continues to outperform much of the United States. Industrial users and investors have taken notice, and so far in 2026, leasing activity has already outpaced all quarters in 2025. According to the latest Colliers market report, the market has absorbed 115,777 square feet of flex and industrial space in the first quarter alone, compared to fourth-quarter 2025 which saw (-189,303 square feet) of negative absorption. This is due to pent-up demand from users taking a cautious “wait-and-see” approach last year. And while the factors preventing them from making decisions in 2025 still exist, the sheer necessity of a physical presence in the area has finally outweighed the perceived risks. ‘Supply reset’ On paper, the data might give pause. Overall vacancy in Southwest Florida rose to 9.7 percent in first-quarter 2026, a sharp departure from the 7.2 percent we saw just …
