I am using Java GUI builder in NetBeans(drag and drop), and I added JLabels, Text Fields and Buttons in a container. However, only Text Fields and Buttons are showing up and not JLabels.

Here is what it looks like when i run it:
I tried checking if the visitiblity for everything is true, and it was true
You're not just adding JLabels; you're also adding java.awt.Label components:
private java.awt.Label resultAmountLabel;
Don't do this. Don't mix heavy-weight AWT components, such as Labels, with light weight Swing GUI's. Instead, every java.awt.Label should be declared and initialized as a javax.swing.JLabel.
The same is true for Button. Instead of,
searchButton = new java.awt.Button();
and
private java.awt.Button searchButton;
You should do:
searchButton = new javax.swing.JButton();
and
private javax.swing.JButton searchButton;
Note that it is OK to use non-component java.awt classes, such as those for Font, Color, layout managers, and such.
This is likely happening because you are choosing the wrong components with your NetBeans GUI builder, and will have to be more careful.
Or even better, learn to create GUI's without use of a GUI builder.
