Unemployment Holds at 4.4% in June as Part-Time Job Growth Lifts Employment

1 articles · Updated · ABC News · Jul 23

Summary

  • June unemployment held steady at 4.4%, with employment growth driven by an increase in part-time work.
  • Part-time hiring was the main factor keeping the jobless rate unchanged, indicating labor-market resilience without a broader drop in unemployment.
  • The June result points to a jobs market still adding work, though the composition of that growth leaned toward part-time roles rather than stronger full-time gains.
