US June Jobs Report Set to Show Strain From Trump’s Policies

Forecasters anticipate a monthly report on US employment will show slower hiring and the highest unemployment rate since 2021 as the Trump administration’s trade and immigration policy shifts start to leave an imprint.

Payrolls probably rose by 106,000 in June — which would be the slowest gain in four months — following May’s 139,000 increase, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists. The jobless rate is seen edging up to 4.3%.
