WASHINGTON, June 6, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The United States added more jobs than analysts expected in May even as hiring cooled, while the jobless rate was unchanged, government data showed Friday, amid growing scrutiny over effects from Donald Trump's widespread tariffs.
Hiring in the world's largest economy came in at 139,000 last month, slightly down from a revised 147,000 in April. The unemployment rate remained at 4.2 percent, said the Labor Department.
