The US saw stronger than expected job growth in June, as the economy added 372,000 jobs and the unemployment rate remained at 3.6 per cent, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday. 

The data shows moderately lower but robust job growth, despite aggressive borrowing cost increases from the Federal Reserve. 

The leisure and hospitality industry continued to show strong growth, adding 67,000 jobs, though a slight dip from the positions added over the month prior. 

Jobs were also added in health care and professional and business services.
