In a trend that we\u2019re starting to get used to, employment rose, but slower than population growth. The result was another uptick in the unemployment rate, this time to 5.8%. Joblessness is still low by historical standards, but conditions have clearly shifted from the start of 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The details beneath the headline numbers tilted to the downside.

New hiring remained weak, and while the layoff rate was still low, it ticked up compared to last year (after closely tracking 2022\u2019s pattern throughout the year). Job growth by industry was mixed, with both construction and manufacturing showing solid gains. However, finance and real estate, as well as wholesale and retail trade both dropped, continuing their recent weakness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also sticking to a familiar story were wages, except here the story has been more positive.
