Piața muncii din SUA pierde în iulie 23.000 de locuri de muncă

The U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs in July, significantly below expectations of 80,000 job gains. This follows a disappointing June, where only 57,000 jobs were created. Notably, the leisure and hospitality sectors saw a loss of 40,000 jobs, while the public sector cut 53,000 positions. Despite a slight decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.1%, this is attributed to a lower labor force participation rate. The job market's performance is closely monitored as it influences the Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates, especially amid rising inflation linked to geopolitical tensions.
