GOLDMAN SEES WORLD CUP BOOSTING JOBS, GROWTH Goldman Sachs estimates the 2026 World Cup will add 40,000 jobs to U.S. payrolls in June, driven by hospitality, retail, and transportation hiring.

Most gains are expected to reverse in subsequent months as temporary event-related jobs and spending fade.(*Walter Bloomberg)
