The US central bank is almost certain to resume raising interest rates later this month as signalled by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, after pausing in June. In the 12 months through June, wages increased 4.4 percent, matching May’s advance.Īnnual wage growth remains too high to be consistent with the Fed’s 2 percent inflation target. The Fed said last month more hikes are likely this year.Īverage hourly earnings rose 0.4 percent last month after climbing by the same margin in May. For now, it is helping the economy to defy economists’ predictions of a recession. Though job growth is slowing, the labour market remains unbowed despite the Federal Reserve delivering 500 basis points worth of rate hikes since March 2022, when it embarked on its fastest monetary policy tightening campaign in more than 40 years. The unemployment rate slipped to 3.6 percent from 3.7 percent in May. The economy needs to create 70,000-100,000 jobs per month to keep up with growth in the working-age population.

Data for May was revised lower to show payrolls rising 306,000 instead of 339,000 as previously reported.Įconomists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls rising 225,000. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 209,000 jobs last month, the Department of Labor said in its closely watched employment report on Friday. I found this entry through his other works such as Icewind Dale, and it really is a shame that he seems to have given up on all of his projects.Job growth in the United States slowed more than expected in June after surging in the prior month, but labour market conditions remain tight, with the unemployment rate retreating from a seven-month high and fairly strong wage gains continuing. Seems this guy's site has gone kaput though. No-one forces you to watch a movie on NewGrounds!

It is however very well drawn and animated, and I think it's dreadful that people would write such hate-filled messages to the author just because they don't like the movie. Though I guess what someone makes of an animation depends upon them and not the author (though they are still responsible to a point). I guess how right or 'wrong' this game is depends on whether people play it then go out and start bonking animals, which definitely would be wrong. This game wasn't my cup of tea, I own a horse but I'm not about to go out and sexually abuse her. I don't want to see naked Zebras.Īren't all zebras naked? It's hard enough to get a horse to wear a winter coat, and zebras are more tempermental!
