Combined, the BLS revised the prior two months down by a combined 111,000 jobs. Government employment increased by 70,000 jobs in June, higher than the average monthly gain of 49,000 over the prior 12 months. Other sectors with noteworthy gains included healthcare (49,000 jobs), social assistance (34,000) and construction (27,000). Other major industries saw little change. Employment in professional and business services fell by 17,000 jobs month-over-month, led by losses in temporary services, a subcategory that has tumbled by 515,000 jobs since March 2022.
