Economists had forecast that the US economy would add 190,000 jobs in June.
Emily Bowerstock Hill, the chief executive of Bowerstock Capital Partners, said the figures were “relatively benign”.
“The data isn’t bad enough to alarm markets, and not bad enough to worry the Fed,” she said.
She added that the Fed has “very clearly telegraphed they are expecting one cut” this year.
US interest rates were held again at 5.25%-5.5% in June, a range they have been in since July last year.
In the minutes of the US central bank’s latest meeting, which were published on Wednesday, policymakers acknowledged the economy appeared to be slowing and that “price pressures were diminishing”.
