2. June 2016 employment summary
• Employment growth returns with strength after a very weak May
- June saw 287,000 net new jobs added to the U.S. labor market, a return to healthy growth after a weak May that saw gains revised
downward to just 11,000 jobs. This is the highest monthly figure in eight months and will be reassuring to decision makers such as the
Federal Reserve.
- A 414,000-person increase in the labor force brought participation to 62.7 percent and pushed up unemployment slightly to 4.9 percent.
Still below the 5.0 percent threshold, unemployment is beginning to approach its cyclical low and is already “full” for white-collar workers.
- Job growth was broad-based, although non-office industries such as health, leisure and hospitality, trade and construction continued to
lead monthly and annual increases.
• Metro areas have minimal slack, which could hinder further gains in 2016 and 2017
- Many metro areas are posting unemployment below 4.0 percent. In particular, San Francisco, Austin, Nashville, Denver, Dallas, Silicon
Valley and Boston all fall below the 3.5 percent mark, while more diversified geographies such as Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami,
Philadelphia and Phoenix are in the 4.5 to 5.5 percent range.
- As a result, we have seen and expect further gradual slowdowns in the rate of job growth in hot markets as employers run up against talent
shortages. Accelerated job and office occupancy growth is likely in diversified markets before they too reach similar tightness.
• Wage growth is up and benefits from continued low inflation
- Annual wage growth rose by 10 basis points to 2.6 percent, led by information and a number of non-office industries. Wage growth has
decoupled from job creation, with the rate of the former rising as the latter flatlines.
- Although there is room for growth, wage growth remains meaningful as the Consumer Price Index continues to stall at 1.0 percent,
providing for further purchasing power and consumer expenditures to drive quarterly GDP gains.
