According to public labor statistics released by Revelio Labs, a US labor force analytics company, on July 1st, the US added 258,800 jobs in June 2026.
The increase in hiring activity was primarily driven by sectors such as leisure services and public administration. The information and manufacturing industries experienced the most significant talent loss. While employers retained existing staff, the lack of job opportunities in other sectors led to fewer voluntary departures, thus reducing the overall rate of staff turnover.
June wages rose 3% compared to May. The main industries contributing to this wage growth included leisure services, hospitality, and professional and business services.
June layoff notices showed a further decline in the number of employees notified of layoffs. Overall, large-scale layoffs have remained relatively stable since the beginning of 2026, with only minor fluctuations each month. The number of employees notified of layoffs in June fell to approximately 17,600, compared to 35,700 in May.
