According to a report published by the Labor Statistics Bureau on Friday, the unemployment rate stood at 3.6% for the fourth month in a row as the number of unemployment remained at 5.9 million. The figures were similar to those from the pre-pandemic level.
The highest jobless rate of 11% was recorded among teenagers, followed by 5.8% among Blacks, the report concluded. The unexpected results are supporting the Federal Reserve's decision to increase the pace of interest rate hikes in the coming months.
