The US economy added 222,000 jobs in June, much more than economists were expecting, the Labor Department said Friday.
The unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.4%, hovering just above its lowest level since 2001. Shortly after the Great Recession ended in 2009, unemployment peaked at 10%.
June was the 81st consecutive month of job gains.
