US employment rose by slightly more than economists¹ had predicted during May.

五月份美国的就业率比经济学家之前预测的数据稍有增长。

The latest US non-farm payrolls² show that 175,000 jobs were created last month. But the unemployment rate increased slightly to 7.6%.

Shares had mostly fallen in the run up to the figures, as investors³ worried that a strong report could lead the Fed to slow its bond-buying programme.

That programme has fired up a rally in the US equities⁴ market this year.

At close on Wall Street on Friday, the Dow Jones had climbed 207.50 points, or 1.38%, to 15248.12. The broader S&P 500 rose 20.82 points to 1643.38, while the Nasdaq added 45.17 points to 3469.22.

Austerity programme

"Both the number of unemployed⁵ persons, at 11.8 million, and the unemployment rate, at 7.6%, were essentially⁶ unchanged in May," said the Labor⁷ Department in a statement.

May was the third month in a row that non-farm payrolls increased by less than 200,000, stoking fears that the US government's austerity might be harming the economy.

The spending cuts were highlighted in the latest jobs report as the federal government cut 14,000 jobs. There were also job cuts in manufacturing.

However, there were job gains in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality and retail⁸.
