Saving Alpha Analysis
May's jobs report - adding an unexpected 339,000 jobs - may be foremost when it comes to the Federal Reserve’s inflation-fighting policies.
It shows a vibrant labor market although that strength is softening by average hourly earnings continue to drop and the work week declining by 0.1%.
The unemployment rate rose from 0.3% to 3.7% meaning the number of unemployed people rose by 440,000 to 6.1M.
It may look strong, but the details show a softening, according to Lawrence Fuller of The Portfolio Architect.
That's what the Federal Reserve wants to see and may lead to a pause in their short-term rate increases at its June 14 meeting.
