U.S. Adds 390,000 Jobs in May, Maintaining Solid Streak

But the Federal Reserve’s fight against high inflation is far from over, with concerns that rising labor costs will be passed on to consumers. Follow updates.

I understand "solid streak" as "stable increase". Am I on the right track?

There have been increases in jobs for several months. Positive numbers, not negative.

AmE uses streak in reference to both sports and gambling. A streak is a long unbroken succession of wins or losses. So you can be on a winning streak or a losing streak.
