In June 2025, the U.S. labor market added 147,000 jobs, with the majority concentrated in government, healthcare, education, and leisure and hospitality sectors. Approximately 94% of the job gains were attributed to healthcare, local government, and public education. Government payrolls increased by 73,000 jobs, primarily within state and local governments, including 40,000 in state government education, 7,000 in state government non-education, and 23,000 in local government education. The private sector added 74,000 jobs, marking the weakest private job growth of the year, with fewer than half of private industries increasing employment. Notably, federal government employment declined by 7,000 jobs. Manufacturing, mining and logging, and professional and business services sectors experienced job losses. The data suggest that despite efforts by the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce government employment, government job growth remained robust in June.
