Morgan Stanley with some clarification on last week's jobs report: But, underneath the surface, the details were less encouraging and generally were consistent with a cooling labor market. The breadth of hiring was once again quite narrow. An unusually large jump in state and local government education employment (+64K) may be a seasonal quirk related to the end of the school year in June. Health care & social assistance and leisure & hospitality once again posted solid gains, but outside these sectors hiring in the rest of the economy was relatively flat. Furthermore, the decline in the unemployment rate was partially driven by workers leaving the labor force. The labor force participation rate fell to 62.3%, its lowest reading since December 2022.
