US adds 57,000 jobs in June, missing expectations

Employment in the United States grew less than expected in June, with the unemployment rate ticking down to 4.2 percent, government data showed on Friday.

"Both total nonfarm payroll employment (+57,000) and the unemployment rate (4.2 percent) changed little in June," the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said in a statement.
