Regional unemployment snapshot…
The July jobs report contained a mixed bag of insights…
Opportunities:
• Although there was a slight decline in temporary sector employment, Adecco Group has seen a continued increase in client demand for temporary positions across all business units.
• The manufacturing and healthcare sectors continue to show month over month growth – this is good news, particularly for manufacturing, which was a lagging sector.
Weaknesses:
• Although the private sector added 71,000 jobs, the economy will need to add anywhere between 200-300,000 jobs each month to make a sizable impact on the economy.
• The end of hundreds of thousand 2010 Census positions has led to a number of individuals being unemployed once again.
