June jobs data could factor in to a July rate cut: Economist

#june #jobs #july #fedratecut #yahoofinance
Nonfarm payrolls rose above expectations in June, with the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting 206,000 new jobs compared to the expected 190,000. However, the US unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1%, higher than the estimated 4.0%. RSM chief economist Joe Brusuelas joins Morning Brief to discuss the print and what it means for the overall health of the economy. "This is what full employment looks like. This is what you want to see. This is a very good number," Brusuelas says. He explains that the print is good news for the Federal Reserve, as the economy is responding to higher interest rates and cooling down: "A policy rate in a range between 5.25% and 5.5% is no longer appropriate for an economy that has an inflation rate of 2.6% - taken out to three decimals is 2.563%. Moreover, growth is cooling, hiring is cooling, the economy is normalizing. We're moving back to that pre-pandemic trend." Brusuelas adds, "I'm more comfortable with the Fed actually hinting in July that they were going to go in September. If I'm a Fed member, I'm actually thinking about July. They want to get out in front of what's going to be a decelerating job market." He anticipates inflation to hit 2.3% by the end of the year, stating "we're within shouting distance" of the Fed's target of 2%. While many have their sights set on September for the first rate cut, he says, "I'm comfortable even with them considering July at this point, because I do think the economy is just normalizing. I want to be clear here, guys: This isn't a crack in the job market. It's not the economy's foundations cracking. We're moving back to trend."

Every month; they revise down the previous month's number so the 206,000 jobs created will most likely be revised to maybe 175,000 and a miss. April and May were both revised way down, to the point where they combined to produce 111,000 combined jobs as previously reported. This must be an intentional to get the numbers wrong, since they are never revised higher. It's a 50-50 chance whether the prvious month is revised higher or lower but it's been more than a year since a revision raised the previous month

informative and interesting

The jobs added: more government and healthcare, part time jobs in the private sector, meanwhile the tech sector continues to bleed jobs but yeah, let's not talk about that it's an election year.

The creation of jobs is all at the PT, low income and government. That is not a healthy market. Sorry guys.

I find it very unlikely unemployment will be 4.2% at the end of the year.

Last report was revised down 60 thousand jobs. This one will be as well. Things are not good. Take out government jobs and the report is bad. Enjoy
