This piece by @BetseyStevenson from a month ago helps explain the May #JobsReport. Good insight. https://t.co/xIcPnveHDl

How did the job picture IMPROVE in May?

The simple answer appears to be:
-Some businesses re-opened, esp. restaurants, stores and construction sites
-PPP loans did help bring workers back

The big Q: Will companies keep workers on after PPP loans expire?

Seems like all the action was in temporary layoffs going back to work: “unemployed persons who were on temporary layoff decreased by 2.7 million in May to 15.3 million...the number of permanent job losers continued to rise, increasing by 295,000 in May to 2.3 million.”

[Jeremy Diamond @JDiamond1]

May jobs report much better than anticipated:
- US economy gained 2.5 million jobs in May
- Unemployment rate fell to 13.3%
