US Job Growth Slows to 73,000 in July Amid Market Uncertainty
The U.S. labor market showed signs of weakening in July, with only 73,000 new jobs added—below expectations—and a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 4.2%. Job gains for the previous two months were revised downward, indicating a potential slowdown amid economic uncertainty, tariff policies, and immigration restrictions. Economists warn that these factors could further dampen job growth, despite the labor market remaining relatively resilient so far.
