Glenmede Expects U.S. June Unemployment Rate to Hold at 4.3%

Glenmede’s investment strategy leaders said investors should expect the U.S. unemployment rate in June to remain unchanged at 4.3%, with nonfarm payrolls rising by about 87,000. According to ChainCatcher, the forecast was provided by Jason Pride, head of investment strategy, and Michael Reynolds, vice president of investment strategy at the private wealth management and investment firm. They said the projected job growth would be lower than May’s 172,000 increase, but would still represent a solid outcome given what they described as a labor market characterized by “low hiring and low layoffs.”
