Wall Street Journal: Nonfarm payrolls expected to increase by 115,000, unemployment rate steady

Odaily Planet Daily News Traders and investors will closely monitor the June nonfarm payrolls report set to be released later. Economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal predict that 115,000 jobs will be added in June, but analysts warn that this figure may be affected by short-term hiring related to the World Cup. This number would be lower than the 172,000 jobs added in May. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.3%. HR company ADP stated this week that hiring growth by private sector employers in June was slightly lower than expected. (Jinshi)
