Editor's Note
Healthcare employment in the US rose by 31,000 from August to September, according to the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), released September 6. That is compared to an overall monthly gain of 142,000 in August.
Healthcare employment also trended up in ambulatory healthcare services, which rose by 24,000, and hospital employment, which rose by 10,000.
Both the unemployment rate, at 4.2 percent, and the number of unemployed people, at 7.1 million, changed little in August, BLS reports.
