This Data is a shocker............
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the January Employment Report (US)...
Highlights
- 598,00 jobs were lost in total
- 111,000 construction jobs were lost
- 207,000 manufacturing jobs were lost
- 279,000 service providing jobs were lost
- 45,000 retail trade jobs were lost
- 121,000 professional and business services jobs were lost
- 54,000 education and health services jobs were added
- 28,000 leisure and hospitality jobs were lost
- 6,000 government jobs were added
A total of 319,000 goods producing jobs were lost (higher paying jobs), and the service sector was clobbered once again as well. Government, the last place one wants to see jobs, added 6,000 jobs. The number government jobs has declining sharply, a welcome event, but I expect this to change in the months ahead along with various stimulus programs.
Very painful & dreadful Scene.......
Thousands of job-seekers queue at a job fair.
Tania Khadder, 29, and John Henion, 32, both unemployed journalists, hold signs on Market Street in San Francisco, December 9, 2008.
A man sits on a chair as he waits in line to file an application for a job as a firefighter in Miami, February 2, 2009.
After seeing all this, I wonder what lies for India ???
