With 215,000 new jobs, unemployment at 5%, job participation up to 63% (and note that unemployment + job participation don’t add up to 100%), and wages up 2.3%, the US job market is beating expectations. Job growth is still required to get back to ‘full employment’, and wages have yet to recover for many; but the trends are in the right direction.
