    Strong job growth is back: Payrolls jump in June well above expectations

    Nonfarm payrolls rose 224,000 in June, well above market expectations of 165,000, according to the Labor Department.

    The unemployment rate hedged higher to 3.7% but was still near 50-year lows.

    Wage growth was 3.1% year over year, one-tenth of a point below market expectations.

    Stocks opened lower on the news and government bond yields surged.
