Key takeaways from the press release
"The number of persons not in the labor force who currently want a job, at 8.2 million, declined by 767,000 in June but remained 3.2 million higher than in February."
"In June, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls fell by 35 cents to $29.37."
"The decreases in average hourly earnings largely reflect job gains among lower-paid workers; these
changes put downward pressure on the average hourly earnings estimates."
