The unemployment rate also saw a slight increase, rising from 3.8% to 3.9%. Despite the lower-than-expected growth, some analysts suggest that the economy remains resilient. The healthcare, government, and social assistance sectors saw job increases, while the manufacturing sector experienced a setback due to the United Auto Workers strike. Despite the deceleration in job growth, there was a modest uptick in wages.
