Cool Growth: Unpacking the June 2025 Jobs Report
In Episode 31 of The Jobs Report podcast by Swob, host Alexander Florio breaks down the latest U.S. jobs report and what it signals for workers and employers heading into the second half of 2025.
With 206,000 jobs added and unemployment ticking up to 4.1%, June's report paints a picture of a labor market that's still expanding — but showing clearer signs of cooling.
Alexander explores how sectors like healthcare, government, and construction continue to lead the charge, while retail and food service begin to pull back — a trend with real implications for hourly and entry-level job seekers.
You'll also learn why more people are re-entering the workforce, what slower wage growth could mean for interest rates, and why both employers and job seekers need to move fast to stay competitive.
What You'll Learn-
Why job growth is outpacing expectations — but unemployment is still rising
-
Which industries are driving new hiring in June
-
Why government hiring is up and retail is slowing down
-
How infrastructure investments are fueling construction gains
-
What cooled wage growth means for inflation and interest rates
-
How employers can hire smarter and faster in a competitive market
-
Why job seekers shouldn't wait to apply
"Retail and food service saw little growth — in some areas, even declines. That's a shift worth watching." — Alexander Florio "More people are looking for work again. That's a positive signal — even if not everyone's landing a role right away." — Florio "Slower wage growth might give the Fed confidence to cut rates, which could kick-start more hiring later this year." — Florio "Whether you're hiring or job hunting, speed and strategy are everything right now." — Florio
