US labor market June 2026

Overview

June 2026 JOLTS data showed job openings fell to 7.359 million, 178 000 fewer than May and below the 7.400 million forecast, pushing the openings rate to 4.4 % from 4.5 %. Hiring rose by 96 000, bringing total hires to 5.348 million and lifting the hires rate to 3.4 %. Layoffs and discharges remained steady at about 1.8 million (1.1 % rate), while voluntary quits held at 3.2 million (2.0 % rate). Sector‑specific shifts included a 147 000 drop in healthcare and social assistance openings, gains in transport, warehousing, utilities and the federal government, and declines in wholesale trade, nondurable‑goods manufacturing and mining. The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark rate in the 3.5 %–3.75 % range, with three committee members dissenting for a quarter‑point hike. Economists view the gradual cooling as likely to let the Fed concentrate on inflation, describing the market as operating in a “slow‑hire, slow‑fire” mode.
