There are few things as fundamentally important to the well-being of an economy as employment, and it’s no different in the heartland. While most of the conversation around the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly jobs report is focused on the national level, the state and community-level data can reveal a more nuanced narrative on the U.S. economy.
On Pulse of the Heartland, we put together an analysis of the statistics focusing on the nuances revealed when comparing heartland and non-heartland labor markets. We saw:
•Consistent growth across the country
•Industry-specific trends to highlight
•Steady labor force sizes and unemployment rates in heartland and non-heartland states
With these analyses paired with industry and state-specific visualizations, we have our finger on the pulse of employment in the heartland and across the country. Find the Pulse yourself here: heartlandforward.org/pulse/heartlan…
