US job growth slows to 139,000 in May as Trump trade policies stir uncertainty
US job growth slowed in May amid uncertainty about the Trump administration's import tariffs, but solid wage growth should keep the economic expansion on track and potentially allow the Federal Reserve to delay resuming its interest rate cuts. read more US employers added 139,000 jobs in May, a slowdown from the revised 147,000 in April, as businesses grappled with economic uncertainty triggered by President Donald Trump's trade and fiscal policies. While job gains outpaced economists' expectations of 130,000, the Labor Department report released Friday also included downward revisions for March and April that erased a combined 95,000 jobs from previously reported totals. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2% for a third straight month. However, the stability masked deeper concerns: more than 625,000 people dropped out of the labor force, a sign that many Americans may be losing confidence in the job market. Consumer surveys also show growing pessimism about the ease of finding work if laid off. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Hiring varied widely across sectors. Healthcare led with 62,000 new jobs, followed by bars and restaurants with 30,000. But the federal government shed 22,000 jobs—the steepest decline since November 2020—as Trump's job cuts and hiring freeze took effect. Factories, already strained by trade uncertainty, lost 8,000 positions. Trump's unpredictable approach to trade—including shifting stances on tariffs—has made long-term planning difficult for businesses, economists say. Further uncertainty comes from Republican infighting over Trump's tax-cut and spending bill, with prominent opposition from within the Senate and from billionaire Elon Musk. Still, average hourly earnings rose 0.4% from April and were up 3.9% year-on-year, slightly stronger than expected. Economists say President Donald Trump's flip-flopping on import tariffs has hampered businesses' ability to plan ahead and hire more workers. Opposition to Trump's tax-cut and spending bill from conservative Republicans in the U.S. Senate and tech billionaire Elon Musk has added another layer of uncertainty for companies. Employment gains continued to be concentrated in the healthcare sector, which added 62,000 jobs that were spread across hospitals, ambulatory services and skilled nursing care facilities. Leisure and hospitality payrolls increased by 48,000, mostly driven by hiring at restaurants and bars. Social assistance employment rose by 16,000 positions. But federal government payrolls decreased by 22,000 and are down 59,000 since January amid an unprecedented campaign by the White House to drastically reduce the government's footprint. The mass firings have been blocked by a federal judge. Reinstated workers who have been put on paid leave are counted as employed. The same applies to those who have accepted buyout offers. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Much of the job growth this year reflects worker hoarding by businesses, anchoring the labor market and economy through higher wages. Average hourly earnings increased 0.4% after gaining 0.2% in April. In the 12 months through May, wages rose 3.9%, matching April's advance. With inputs from agencies

Billionaire Harsh Goenka's ‘funny' take on Elon Musk-Donald Trump feud
Billionaire Harsh Goenka has shared a tongue-in-cheek take on the ongoing feud between US President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk . Goenka shared a post on X that humorously reads: Trump is now Elon's X. The post, brief but sharp, references the souring of the once-strong relationship between the two powerful figures. It comes at a time when tensions between Musk and Trump have erupted into a full-blown political spat. Musk has claimed Trump wouldn't have won the 2024 US presidential election without his support, saying in a post that 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.' 'Such ingratitude' he stated. Musk slams Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Soluções confiáveis para centros de dados IA Siemens Energy Read More Undo Earlier this week, he also lashed out at Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill, calling it a 'disgusting abomination.' Taking to X, Musk wrote 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.' He further added 'Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.' Following Musk's criticism, White House has defended the bill. Musk has been warning against 'America bankruptcy' due to federal over spending for a long time now. Talking about the bill recently, he said 'This spending bill contains the largest increase in the debt ceiling in US history! It is the Debt Slavery Bill.' Trump hits back at Musk President Trump recently responded to Musk's criticism of the bill stating 'I'm very disappointed with Elon. I've helped him a lot. He knew the inner workings of the bill better than anybody sitting here. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem & he only developed the problem when he found out we're going to cut EV mandate'. He further said that 'Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore. I was surprised. He hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next'. Musk retaliated by saying 'False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!'.
