Non-Farm Payrolls
About This Event
The number of non-farm payrolls for May will be released.
Previous: 147K
Forecast: 130K
Non-farm payrolls measures the change in the number of people employed during the previous month, excluding the farming industry. This is a key indicator of job creation and consumer spending. Higher than expected payrolls is bullish, while lower than expected payrolls is bearish.
US nonfarm payrolls are expected to have risen by 110K in June 2025, marking the smallest increase in four months and a slowdown from May’s gain of 139K. The unemployment rate is projected to edge up to 4.3%, the highest since October 2021, from 4.2%, while wage growth likely eased to 0.3% from 0.4%. Hiring in the leisure and hospitality sector may have slowed, reflecting softer consumer spending on tourism and travel-related services. In contrast, the healthcare sector likely remained a key driver of job growth. Overall, the report is expected to point to a continued cooling in the labor market, as uncertainty surrounding tariffs, trade, and immigration policies leads many employers to adopt a more cautious hiring stance. Nonetheless, the data would continue to underscore a fundamentally resilient labor market, with monthly payroll gains in the 100K-170K range, sufficient to keep pace with growth in the working-age population. source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
