 U.S. economy added 206,000 jobs in June, unemployment rate rises to 4.1%
==========

The U.S. economy added 206,000 jobs in June, slightly more than expected, but the unemployment rate rose to 4.1%. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 206,000, surpassing the Dow Jones forecast of 200,000. However, this was lower than the revised gain of 218,000 in May. The unexpected increase in the unemployment rate to 4.1% presents a conflicting sign for Federal Reserve officials considering their next move on monetary policy.
