According to Odaily Planet Daily, U.S. companies added the highest number of jobs in May since January 2025, suggesting that the labor market may be accelerating despite rising energy costs due to the Iran war. ADP data supports the view that after months of uneven hiring, the labor market may be gradually improving, with job openings increasing while layoffs remain low. If this trend is confirmed in official government data, it could lead to speculation that the Federal Reserve is more likely to raise interest rates than cut them in the coming months. (Jinshi)
