Ernie Tedeschi reports that U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 172,000 in May 2026, following a previous rise of 179,000.
He also highlights two-month revisions adding 93,000 jobs and a three-month moving average at 188,000. The U3 unemployment rate edged down to 4.30% from 4.34%.
Tedeschi previously noted a post-2024 growth gap between new business applications, with many solopreneurs driving much of the underlying economic activity (article). He has also pointed out that Poland’s economic growth data for 2021-23 may be overstated due to the exclusion of Ukrainian refugees from population figures (article). These analyses add context to his current reporting on U.S. payroll and unemployment trends.
