US Private Sector Employment Unexpectedly Declines
2025/07/02 13:02According to a report by Jinse Finance, economic uncertainty has unsettled employers, leading to the first decline in U.S. private sector employment in over two years last month. Based on the National Employment Report released by ADP, the U.S. saw a total decrease of 33,000 jobs in June, compared to an increase of 29,000 jobs in May. This marks the first reported drop in employment since March 2023. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had previously expected an increase of 100,000 jobs for the month. ADP Chief Economist Nela Richardson stated, "While layoffs remain rare, hesitation in hiring and reluctance to replace departing employees led to last month's decrease in employment." However, the economic slowdown has yet to affect annual wage growth, which rose by 4.4% in June, only slightly below May's 4.5% increase.

In the third quarter, Korean retail investors made net purchases of US stocks worth approximately 10.15 trillion won, marking a complete reversal from the previous pattern in the first half of the year, when they made net purchases of nearly 100 trillion won in KOSPI stocks. In September alone, the sell-off amount reached as high as 14.2 trillion won. Analysts attribute this shift to a combination of factors: a sharp decline in KOSPI at high levels, the continued strength of the US stock market driven by AI themes, and the appreciation of the Korean won reducing currency exchange costs.
