No World Cup jobs bump evident in June data

Despite widespread stories about a tourism boom in cities hosting World Cup fans, the June employment data shows no significant hiring surge. In fact, leisure and hospitality employment dropped by 61,000 jobs, a sector usually buoyed by tourism. This suggests that the economic boost expected from the World Cup didn't materialize in job creation. It's a telling indicator that broader economic benefits from major events may be more elusive than commonly assumed.
