Written by Peter Wright
In Q1 2019, all regions except the North Central had positive employment growth.
First-quarter regional employment data by state was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday. The state data follows and confirms the strong employment situation that we reported at the national level two weeks ago. In the first quarter, the states reported a total of 507,000 jobs created. The national report indicated a total of 541,000 jobs.
