Average hourly earnings rose a tad more than expected (+0.3%). Over the past three months, they're growing at an annualized rate of 2.9%.

All told, it looks like average rates of wage growth have risen from "a bit more than 2%" to "a touch under 3%".

Two points:
1. Wage growth remains weaker than needed to hit the Fed's inflation target.
2. It does appear to be rising, and bears watching.

This is one of those months in which unemployment rose, but it's because people are coming back to the labor force, and most found jobs.

Household survey shows employment growth of 272k, which is darn similar to the 280k from payrolls. Whichever way you look at it, good news.

Payrolls report says to the rest of the economy: What's all your pessimism about? The labor market is looking gooooood.

Payrolls rose +280k in May. Unemployment ticks up to 5.5%.
March payrolls revised up +34k to +119k; April down -2k.
It's a beauty.

One thing folks are overlooking: With inflation so low, even moderate nominal wage growth is creating reasonable real wage gains.
