JUNE 4 -- Analysis of the May employment data is complicated by the fact that the report encompasses the annual benchmark revision to all seasonally adjusted data in the establishment survey back to 1997 and to all unadjusted data back to April 2000.

The benchmarking resulted in a downward revision to payroll employment levels of 523,000 in April versus what was reported last month. This is not a shocking number given that in weak economic environments the Labor Department usually overestimates job growth (and vice versa in strong environments).

In any event, it is the recent month-over-month changes that are important, and in that respect the May report shows that the labor market is recovering, albeit at a sub-par pace. This report is unlikely to alter market perceptions concerning the economy and the path of monetary policy.

-- Joshua Shapiro, Chief U.S. Economist
