[B]The American job market gained 432,000 jobs in May, weaker than 524,000 that were expected. This disappointment is mostly due to weak hiring in the private sector.

This “core” figure is very far from a gain of 180,000 jobs that was predicted. Also the better-than-expected drop in the unemployment rate is due to the dropout of 322,000 people out of the available work force. No good news here as well.
