Morningstar (June 3)
“Job and wage growth” finally appear to be “moderating, and that’s good news.” This can get hidden by monthly volatility. However, the three-month rolling average of job gains “stood at a lofty 602,000” in February. “It’s now 408,000.” The economy looks to be “shifting to a steadier, healthier pace of growth.”
