A fading jobs market? Fewer businesses are hiring

The U.S. added a solid 187,000 new jobs in July, but almost half of the hiring was concentrated in a handful of industries.

A measure in the monthly jobs report compares the percentage of industries hiring to the percentage of those losing jobs.

That’s a continuation of a trend in 2023.
