Employment in the United States grew less than expected in June, with the unemployment rate ticking down to 4.2 percent, government data showed on Friday.

"Both total nonfarm payroll employment (+57,000) and the unemployment rate (4.2 percent) changed little in June," the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said in a statement.
