U.S. trade disputes, tit-for-tat tariffs and an expensive dollar have all posed as headwinds for manufacturers with global buyers. The education and health care industry — a consistent employment juggernaut — was by far the strongest during the month, adding more than 70,000 jobs. "Notable job gains occurred in construction, in health care, and in transportation and warehousing," the Labor Department said in its Friday press release. Most of the construction "gain occurred in specialty trade contractors, with increases in both the residential and nonresidential components.
tomwfranck Can we assume that because this chart indicates in which fields workers were hired in January (where the jobs were) that it's a leading indication of where the most openings will lie in the near future? If so, how far into the future, you think?
72.000 new jobs in education and healthcare for January is hard to believe. Would love to see some supporting documentation.
every one of those jobs have seen their pay cut by close to 50% or more within the past 20 years, and with inflation these are NOT JOBS these are a last ditch effort for people not to stay living on the street or with their parents.
Perspective makes all the difference
how can you call a job in education a job? these people are getting 9-12$hr and only getting 32 hrs a week, barely pays for gas, food they cant afford rent, car insurance, a new car, a house payment, clothes, inflation has slapped the worker in the face. This is Ancient Egypt
