These unemployment numbers look not to be as good as headlined IMO. I am seeing a lot of negative numbers. Construction lost 27K jobs. Manufacturing lousy 41K. Trade, transportation and utilities lost 34K. Retail lost 14.5K. Transportation and warehousing lost 5.3K jobs. Information lost 17K (I am just going down the list so far, not just picking up losses) Financial activities lost 10k. Then you get to professional and business services. They added 86K jobs. But more specifically under that heading is 'administrative and support services', they gained 86,900 jobs. Temporary help was 61,000 of those jobs. Education and health services added 40K jobs. Leisure and hospitality lost 11,000. Other Services lost 3,000. Government gained 7,000. Thank goodness for temporary help. bls.gov CAN YOU SAY PAINT JOB...............................
