Private sector jobs surged by 497,000 for the month, well ahead of the downwardly revised 267,000 gain in May and much better than the 220,000 Dow Jones consensus estimate. The increase resulted in the biggest monthly rise since July 2022.

15$/hr to work fast food isn’t going to buy a house and put the kids through college. That’s true. But it still is a fucking revolution in this country to see entry level food service staff getting that pay. Fast food jobs act as a sort of minimum wage alternative in a country that lacks the fortitude to instate a realistic one.
If your job paying less than 15, might be time to have lunch at McDonald’s with the boss and discuss a raise. That sign can change lives.

That is fantastic. Some day, I hope we can tackle starvation wages at the national level but for now a strong labor market is the best we can do. In many states that job paid less than 8/hr a few yrs ago.
