Șoc în SUA. 23.000 de locuri de muncă au dispărut în iulie deși se estima o creștere de 100.000

In July 2026, the U.S. job market experienced a surprising decline of 23,000 jobs, contrary to expectations of a 100,000 job increase. This significant drop shocked analysts and highlighted a weaker labor market than previously thought. The unemployment rate slightly decreased to 4.1%, influenced by workers leaving the labor force rather than finding new jobs. Revisions showed a loss of 103,000 jobs in May and June compared to earlier reports. Education, retail, and financial sectors contributed to the job losses, while healthcare added 22,000 jobs. The labor force participation rate fell to 61.4%, indicating a growing number of individuals not in the workforce.
