Jobs report is expected to show a pickup in hiring — but with stagnant wages

The article discusses expectations for the upcoming U.S. nonfarm payroll report, projecting a modest increase in hiring with stagnant wage growth. Economists anticipate around 83,000 new jobs in July, compared to 57,000 in June, with the unemployment rate remaining stable at 4.2%. The report comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, including the U.S.-Iran conflict affecting energy prices and inflation. Wage growth is expected to rise slightly, though it remains below the inflation rate. Experts note that while some sectors like education and health services are likely to see job gains, leisure and hospitality may experience a modest rebound after a decline in June. Manufacturing activity is also showing signs of improvement.
