Nonfarm payrolls increased by 209,000 in June (consensus 220,000) and there were downward revisions to April and May that, combined, showed 110,000 fewer jobs than originally thought. Average hourly earnings, though, increased a stronger than expected 0.4% (consensus 0.3%) and May was revised up to 0.4% (from 0.3%), so the year-over-year change in June was unchanged at 4.4%.
The key takeaway from the report is that it continued to fit in the soft landing zone, as payroll growth slowed but remained positive; meanwhile, an increase in the average workweek and the 0.4% increase in average hourly earnings are a boon for aggregate earnings that will continue to support both discretionary and non-discretionary spending.
