Bars, restaurants and hotels rapidly added workers in July, leading the U.S. to a robust month of employment gains.
The hiring blitz at bars, restaurants and hotels continued in July as demand for cooks, service staff and accommodation workers led the U.S. to yet another robust month of employment gains. The Labor Department noted that the recent comeback in leisure and hospitality has left employment in that sector just 10% below where it was in February 2020.
"In July, notable job gains occurred in leisure and hospitality, in local government education, and in professional and business services," the Labor Department said in a press release. "Staffing fluctuations in education due to the pandemic have distorted the normal seasonal buildup and layoff patterns, likely contributing to the job gains in July."
Interesting that govt jobs is number two on list and has been for the last couple of reports, being the it was always at the bottom under the Trump administration. A clear identifier between the two parties.
