BLS: Regional Jobs Data Shows Slowing in Third Quarter
Written by Peter Wright
In the third quarter of 2019, the states reported a slowdown in net job creation that paralleled the national statistics.
Third-quarter regional employment data by state was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday. The state data follows and confirms the employment situation that we reported at the national level two weeks ago. In the third quarter, the states reported a total of 390,000 jobs created. The national report indicated a total of 470,000 jobs.
