JUST IN: Defying anxiety about a possible recession and raging inflation, America’s employers added a stunning 528,000 jobs last month, restoring all the jobs lost in the coronavirus recession. Unemployment fell to 3.5%, lowest since the pandemic started.

There are, of course, political implications in the numbers being released Friday: Voters have been worried about rising prices and the risk of recession ahead of November’s midterm elections as President Joe Biden’s Democrats seek to maintain control of Congress. The unexpectedly strong hiring number will be welcomed at the White House.

Russia’s war in Ukraine has darkened the outlook across Europe. The conflict has made energy supplies scarce and driven prices higher. European countries are bracing for the possibility that Moscow will keep reducing — and perhaps completely cut off — flows of natural gas, used to power factories, generate electricity and keep homes warm in winter.Economies have been on a wild ride since COVID-19 hit in early 2020.

The result has been shortages of workers and supplies, delayed shipments -- and rising prices. In the United States, inflation has been rising steadily for more than a year. In June, consumer prices jumped 9.1% from a year earlier — the biggest increase since 1981.

US employers add 528,000 jobs as labor market defies raging inflationAmerica’s hiring boom continued last month as employers added a surprising 528,000 jobs despite raging inflation and rising anxiety about a recession. “Rising anxiety”? Or….hear me out…”rising anxiety DURING a recession”. Please correct the record before ppl think your pushing narratives and not a neutral arbiter. I just saw a post where Walmart is laying off 8-9% of there employees due to losses in revenue. 1) people are needing to go back to work/get another job due to inflation 2) jobs always lag in a recession
