Is 4.1% Unemployment a Recession Warning?
Manage episode 427895358 series 70567
Despite a slightly higher-than-expected payroll job gain, the June employment report was on the soft side, with downward revisions to payroll gains from prior months, a drop in temporary employment and only modest gains in wages. However, the weakest aspect of the report was the unemployment rate, which edged up from 4.0% to 4.1%. This, in itself, wouldn’t be particularly notable were it not for the fact that the unemployment rate has now risen steadily over the past 14 months from a 54-year low of 3.4% set in April of last year.
