Interesting Jobs

With 195,000 new jobs in June, the average monthly gain in the first half of 2013 is 202,000 – way up from the 130,000/month pace when QE3 began. Moreover, the unemployment rate remained unchanged, because 177,000 people joined the labor force! Unfortunately, 112,000 of the new jobs were either in leisure and hospitality or retail trade, both low-paying sectors. Three more months like this and tapering probably starts in September.
