U.S. jobs are bouncing back strong, according to the latest jobs report from the U.S. Department of Labor. Not only did the country see the most job creation last month since the start of the pandemic, but the industries that lost the most jobs saw some of the biggest improvements.
According to the report, the U.S. gained 916,000 jobs last month, which is far more than the 675,000 jobs that analysts expected.
âMore importantly, on top of that 900,000, more than 100,000 jobs were added in January and February with upward revisions,â said Mark Hamrick, the senior economic analyst with Bankrate.
