Healthcare Hiring

In 10/23, net job growth was relatively weak at 150,000. Moreover, most of the gains were in just three sectors, healthcare (58,000), government (51,000), and leisure & hospitality (19,000). While job growth will likely slow in the latter two categories, healthcare employment remains very strong. Since 1/22, healthcare employment has risen 6.8% and continues to be strong, while employment elsewhere is up 4.3% and is slowly softening.
