BLS: Employment by Industry for March
Written by Peter Wright
U.S. manufacturing lost jobs in March, but has had strong job growth in the last 12 months.
In March, 182,000 jobs were created in the private sector and government added 14,000, reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Most of the goods-producing employees work in manufacturing and construction and the components of these two sectors of most relevance to steel people are broken out in Table 1.
