## Story

The jobs report shows America’s job market is continuing to get stronger. According to a recent CNNMoney article , the gains were even more than economists were expecting with an added 220,000 jobs in June.

"The economy is still in pretty good shape, employers are looking to hire," said Luke Tilley, chief economist at Wilmington Trust.

June marked the 81st consecutive month of job gains with a slight uptick in the participation rate in the labor force as more people are getting back into the job market. Industries including restaurants, business services, health care and mining all saw increases.
