The U.N. has adopted a resolution against President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Axios contributor Barak Ravid of Israel's Channel 10 News reports. 128 voted for the resolution, 9 against it, and 35 abstained.
Just before the vote, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley gave a speech threatening to pull U.S. funding to the UN if the resolution was adopted. Haley said the resolution will have no impact on Trump's decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

Economists were projecting that May's jobs figures would show a loss of 8 million jobs and an unemployment rate approaching 20% — Great Depression territory.
The state of play: Instead, a record 2.5 million workers were added, and unemployment fell to 13.3% from April's post-World War II high of 14.7%.
