Recent business services research from Baird Human Capital Services indicates that the United States is currently supporting a “very healthy labor market.” The report also stated that there are “generally positive implications” for employment opportunities. The positive report was consistent with past reports and indicates that growth has generally continued in the job market. According to the report, “key areas of strength were education and health services” which is wonderful news for people who are currently seeking employment in those industries. Employment opportunities also increased in government and leisure and hospitality. There was an “unexpected increase” in construction employment, with a gain of 13,000 jobs. The future looks bright for people seeking employment in one of the aforementioned industries.
