    US hiring slows in what economists are calling a ‘low-momentum’ labor market

    The U.S. economy added 57,000 jobs in June, far below the 115,000 expected, with revised April and May figures showing 74,000 fewer jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.2% as 720,000 people exited the labor force.
