Healthcare Industry Statistics

Healthcare added 37,000 jobs in April, in line with the average monthly gain of 32,000 over the prior 12 months. Growth was concentrated in nursing and residential care facilities (+15,000) and home health care services (+11,000). Social assistance continued to trend up, adding 17,000 jobs — primarily in individual and family services (+24,000). With healthcare unemployment among the lowest of any industry tracked here, competition for clinical and direct-care talent remains intense and recruiters should expect continued wage pressure heading into summer.

Manufacturing Industry Statistics

Manufacturing employment showed little net change in April after a modest 15,000-job gain in March. The average workweek for manufacturing employees edged up to 40.4 hours, with overtime steady at 3.0 hours — a stable but uninspired production picture. Ongoing uncertainty around trade policy and tariffs continues to weigh on longer-term hiring and capital investment decisions in this sector, and job openings remain low relative to historical norms, signaling continued cautious employer sentiment.

Professional and Business Services Industry Statistics

Professional and Business Services employment was again essentially unchanged in April, continuing a multi-month pattern of flat growth. JOLTS data for March showed job openings in this sector trending down, while layoffs rose notably, with most of the month's overall increase in layoffs coming from professional and business services. At 4.5%, the unemployment rate here remains the highest among the major industries we track outside retail, suggesting continued softening in the white-collar talent market that could benefit employers competing for skilled workers.

Transportation & Warehousing Industry Statistics

Transportation and Warehousing added 21,000 jobs in March, driven entirely by a rebound in couriers and messengers (+20,000) — likely reflecting a reversal of the prior month's weather-related losses. Despite this monthly gain, the sector remains down 139,000 jobs from its February 2025 peak, as post-pandemic normalization of logistics demand continues to reshape the industry's workforce. Air transportation also showed resilience. While the monthly recovery is encouraging, the sector's longer-term trend remains one of gradual contraction, and hiring activity in warehousing and freight continues to face headwinds from shifting consumer demand patterns.

Retail Industry Statistics

Retail Trade added 22,000 jobs in April after a modest March bounce. Gains were concentrated in warehouse clubs, supercenters, and other general merchandise retailers (+18,000) and building material and garden equipment dealers (+13,000), partially offset by losses in department stores (-7,000) and electronics and appliance retailers (-2,000). Retail employment has shown little net change over the prior 12 months. The sector continues to face structural headwinds from e-commerce competition and cautious discretionary spending — at 6.0%, retail's unemployment rate remains the highest among industries we track, and the combination of short average hours and low wages keeps this a high-turnover, recruitment-intensive environment.
