CNBC studied the net changes by industry for June jobs based on the data from the Labor Department.
The U.S. labor market rebounded in June after May's lackluster jobs report thanks to another strong month for health-care hiring, which has repeatedly led industry-based employment gains over the last year.
CNBC studied the net changes by industry for June jobs based on the data from the Labor Department contained in the jobs report. The government said the U.S. economy added a hefty 224,000 jobs last month, far more than the 165,000 increase expected by economists polled by Dow Jones. The business and professional services sector added a similarly large 51,000 jobs, with strong hiring in computer systems design, consulting and mid- to top-tier company management. The business and professional sector also includes lawyers and accountants., posted a somewhat stronger month in June with an additional 17,000 jobs. The sector added just 3,000 jobs in each of both May and April following a contraction in March.
"Manufacturing employment edged up in June , following 4 months of little change," the government continued. "So far this year, job growth in the industry has averaged 8,000 per month, compared with an average of 22,000 per month in 2018."
