the Manufacturing Renaissance is off to a slow start. Down 30,000 jobs over the past 3 months. Health Care & Social Assistance, on the other hand, is on a tear. +158,000ish over the same time.
Government -22 in August and plus 22 in September - that feels like some sort of seasonality quirk.
hopefully no one still believes manufacturing is coming back to the USA on a large scale, leveling out the job loss in that sector would be a massive accomplishment at this point. Even if tariffs makes things more expensive from China, it will come from Vietnam and other places. On the other hand, cleaning the butts of the Boomers will be a growth opportunity for the next 20 years.
