Employers added 139,000 jobs in May — the second-highest monthly gain this year. While hiring has slowed from 2024 averages, labor demand remains steady, and signs of renewed CRE transaction activity are beginning to emerge. With a Federal Reserve rate cut now likely delayed, borrowers are increasingly focused on short-term financing strategies while rates hold.
🔹 139K jobs added in May
🔹 Interest rate relief still uncertain
🔹 Retail vacancy just 20 bps above record low
Labor demand holds. CRE markets stirring.
