Written by Peter Wright
The South Central region of the U.S. created the most jobs in the fourth quarter of 2019, with the Pacific in second place, based on government employment data.
Fourth-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 fourth quarter, the states reported a total of 547,000 jobs created. The national report indicated a total of 553,000 jobs.
