Payrolls in the public and private sector increased by 339,000 for the month, better than the 190,000 Dow Jones estimate and marking the 29th straight month of positive job growth.
"The U.S. labor market continues to demonstrate grit amid chaos – from inflation to high-profile layoffs and rising gas prices," said Becky Frankiewicz, president and chief commercial officer of Manpower Group. "With 339,000 job openings, we're still rewriting the rule book and the U.S. labor market continues to defy historical definitions."
Other notable gainers included leisure and hospitality , construction , and transportation and warehousing .Despite the big jobs gain, the unemployment rate increased due in large part to a sharp decline of 369,000 in self-employment. That was part of an overall drop of 310,000 counted as employed in the household survey, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate and generally is considered more volatile than the survey of establishments used for the headline payrolls number.
