“Some of the sectors scoring big improvements were among those hurt most badly by the shutdowns associated with the pandemic, including restaurants and bars, which added 176,000 jobs.
State and local education jobs rose by 126,000 as schools started to reopen. Hotels and other accommodations added 40,000 jobs, and the category that includes performing arts, spectator sports and amusement parks added 64,000.”
And then the rich got richer. The pandemic and shutdowns was very good for the club like Amazon and Walmart, you know:
“Delivery services, such as FedEx (FDX) and United Parcel Service (UPS), which had already posted among the biggest job gains of the last year due to the increase in online shopping, added another 17,000 jobs.”
Then there’s this:
“The unemployment rate improved to 6%, compared with the 6.2% in February. But while some sectors are back to their pre-pandemic employment levels, the overall US economy still has 8.4 million fewer jobs than it did before Covid-19 related job losses started a year ago.
The 6% unemployment rate is the lowest since the start of the pandemic, but it is not quite as strong as it appears. A much lower percentage of the labor force that is without jobs looked for work in the last month — which they need to do to be counted in the unemployment rate.”
So what is it that you want to crow about here (other than being a lazy troll)?
