Good reading when you have a chance. Temp employment firms added 18,000 jobs last month. Hiring and GDP continue to improve. No discernable effect from Sandy on the national jobs reports.
The document discusses the job market in 2012 based on a report from Adecco. It summarizes that while 2011 saw gradual job growth, more significant growth is needed in 2012 to make up jobs lost in the recession. It outlines areas of expected growth like professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, and temporary jobs. It also discusses challenges like the need for more education and skills training as jobs increasingly require higher education levels.
The Linneman Letter: Volume 10 Issue 2Dan Hutchins
Historically, you need about six quarters of prolonged profit growth before companies hire aggressively. A robust job recovery is underway, with profitable employers finally replacing employees who died, retired, took extended maternity leave, or went back to school. Unfortunately, many small firms were needlessly destroyed as the government artificially channeled scarce capital to large, politically-connected firms. As we have said repeatedly, “too big to fail” is code for “too small to succeed.”
The December jobs report showed a mixed outlook for economic recovery. While the temporary jobs sector added 47,000 jobs for the fifth straight month, the overall unemployment rate remained at 10% with December job losses similar to the previous month. Some states saw increases in jobs while others had decreases. Experts believe job losses may stop in early 2010, but recovery will be gradual with some sectors gaining jobs and others continuing to lose positions. Many companies are turning to temporary or contract workers to scale their workforce according to changing business needs during the recovery.

The estimated gain from July to August was revised up slightly from the initial estimate of 163,000 to 173,000.
165,000 new jobs were added in April according to the BLS report, exceeding economists' projections. The unemployment rate dropped to 7.5%, its lowest point since 2008. Several sectors added jobs including finance (9,000), healthcare (19,000), leisure and hospitality (43,000), professional and business services (73,000), retail trade (29,300) and temporary help services (30,800).

Canadian Labour Force Survey September 2010pdfcstedham
The labour force survey for September 2010 found:
- Employment changed little as full-time gains offset part-time losses.
- The unemployment rate edged down 0.1 percentage points to 8.0% as fewer people, especially youth, participated in the labour market.
- Employment declined in Ontario and a few other provinces while increasing in Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia.
THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- DECEMBER 2011
Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 200,000 in December, and the unemployment rate,
at 8.5 percent, continued to trend down, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Job gains occurred in transportation and warehousing, retail trade,
manufacturing, health care, and mining.
The July 2018 jobs report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that 157,000 jobs were created in July, below economists' expectations of 190,000. The unemployment rate remained at 3.9% while average hourly earnings increased 2.7%. Major job gains occurred in professional and business services which increased by 51,000 jobs, manufacturing which increased by 37,000 jobs, and healthcare and social assistance which increased by 34,000 jobs. Employment in other industries such as mining, wholesale trade, and government showed little change.
The U.S. labor market added a whopping 223,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in the month of May, blowing away economists' projections of 190,000. This is a substantial increase from the 159,000 jobs that were gained last month.
The national unemployment rate also slightly decreased to 3.8%, setting a newer 17-year low. This places the total number of unemployed Americans to 6.1 million, down 772,000 workers (or 0.5%) over the year. The labor force participation rate also edged down to 62.7%.
Local unemployment decreased this month, contracting by 10 basis points to 5.3 percent. Still, the reduction in metro unemployment may be more attributed to workforce dynamics than the economy.
The document summarizes key economic data from the July 2010 National Jobs Report. It notes that while the unemployment rate held steady at 9.5%, 131,000 jobs were lost in July. Certain sectors such as construction, manufacturing, and healthcare saw job gains while others like temporary staffing saw losses. Overall the report indicated a mixed bag with some opportunities like growth in manufacturing and healthcare, but weaknesses in overall job growth needed to significantly impact the unemployment rate.
