The July 2018 Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Report revealed that 157,000 jobs were created last month and the unemployment rate dipped to 3.9%. While overall job creation was slightly less robust than economists’ expectations, much of the miss was attributed to losses in the retail sector. Healthcare added a total of 16,700 jobs last month, with 6,800 in the hospital space and another 9,900 in ambulatory care settings. Over the course of the last year healthcare has grown by 286,000 jobs.
