June 2013 year-over-year job growth rate 1.3 percent
Dear Friend,

The total nonfarm job figure for June 2013 in the Pittsburgh region was 1,188,800, and the year-over-year job growth rate was 1.3 percent, which was below the benchmark average of 1.6 percent. Both Denver and Minneapolis had the highest year-over-year job growth rate at 2.9 percent.

 





Sectors that are doing well include transportation and utilities (up 2.8 percent), financial activities (up 4.3 percent), professional and business services (up 4.4 percent), and leisure and hospitality (up 3.4 percent). Information jobs in the region declined 2.1 percent year-over-year, and wholesale trade and government jobs each declined by 1.5 percent.


Thanks for your interest,

 

Douglas Heuck
