Jobs Report Chart

According to the Labor Department, 80,000 U.S. jobs were created in June as employment data continues to falter. The jobs data for May was revised up from 69,000 to 77,000, though the report for April was revised down to 68,000. As shown in this chart, jobs growth was strong in early 2012 but has been soft over the last several months.

The Labor Department also reported that the unemployment rate remained unchanged from last month at 8.2%.
