Story Highlights Percentage staying in unwanted jobs for health insurance is up eight points since 2021 Half of workers highly stressed by healthcare costs stay in jobs for insurance 29% of those with chronic conditions stay for insurance, versus 17% without Editor’s Note: This research was conducted in partnership with West Health through the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America, a joint initiative to report the voices and experiences of Americans within the healthcare system. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Nearly one in four U.S. workers (24%), the equivalent of about 23 million adults, report “job lock” — staying in their current job, even though they want to leave, because they are afraid of losing their health insurance — according to a new study from the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America.

The Indeed Hiring Lab monthly snapshot of the US labor market summarizes where key indicators — job postings, wages, unemployment, and openings — stand as of June 2026 and flags the trends worth watching in the months ahead. The Big Picture Overall hiring demand remained steady in June, with job postings on Indeed increasing marginally over the month. June data adds one more month to the ongoing story of a labor market stuck in still water. With little churn under the surface, we continue to watch for signs of either a meaningful and broad improvement in labor demand — or a meaningful deterioration in layoffs — to gauge which way the tide will turn.  Job Postings Where we are: Indeed’s JPI seems to be stabilizing around pre-pandemic levels, standing at 101.0 as of June 30, 2026. New postings (job postings on Indeed for 7 days or fewer) tell a similar story and have averaged exactly 100.0 in the first half of 2026. Direction of travel:...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market stalled unexpectedly last month, delivering a political blow to President Donald Trump three months ahead of midterm elections and complicating decision-making for the inflation fighters at the Federal Reserve. Employers cut 23,000 jobs in July. And Labor Department revisions slashed 103,000 jobs from May and June payrolls.The unemployment rate fell but for the wrong reason: Thousands of people dropped out of the labor market so fewer people were competing for work.The July jobs numbers from the Labor Department Friday marked a sharp setback for the American labor market and for Trump less than three months before his Republican party seeks to keep full control of Congress in the midterm election. Forecasters had expected job creation to approach 100,000 last month. Local public schools...

US employers unexpectedly lost 23,000 jobs in July and gains for the previous two months were revised down sharply by a combined 103,000 jobs, painting a weaker picture of the labor market than past data indicated.The unemployment rate, however, held steady at 4.1%. Economists had projected an unchanged unemployment rate and 83,000 new jobs for the month.The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics illustrates the continued summer slump in job growth amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Pressure has been mounting within the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to combat persistently high inflation, but July’s job report and its latest revisions may cool those expectations at the central bank’s next meeting.July’s job losses were concentrated in local government education, with 50,000 jobs lost, and retail, which lost 19,000. The private sector, however, gained 30,000 jobs, with growth focused once again in healthcare.Hourly earnings of all employees changed little over the past year, increasing by 3.2%...

A summer hiring slump dogged the US labor market in July as the economy unexpectedly lost 23,000 jobs, according to new data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1% from 4.2% as more people left the labor force. July’s job gains marked a sharp slowdown from June’s total, which was downwardly revised to 20,000 from 57,000. Following revisions, the jobs created in May were essentially halved, dropping to 66,000 from 129,000. Workers’ pay gains slowed to a five-year low. The July report fell far short of economists’ expectations for a 95,000-job gain. ...
