Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.The US economy added 1.37 million jobs in August, and the unemployment rate declined to 8.4%, the Labor Department reported Friday.
"Progress is clearly being made but there are still 11.5 million people who are out of a job as a result of the COVID shock," said Michelle Meyer, US economist at Bank of America, in a Friday note. There are some positive signs that people are indeed returning to work following mass furloughs and layoffs due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This ratio specifically measures those that have a job as a percentage of the total population, showing that more people are finding their way back into the workforce. One example of this is the slowed pace of jobs added back in leisure and hospitality, one of the industries hit hardest by the pandemic and related shutdowns. Even with the employment gains, total jobs are down 2.5 million since February, and the unemployment rate in the sector is 21.3%.
It's a good thing that temporary layoffs declined, as it shows that workers are returning to their previous jobs.
