CNN – Americans may be finding it a little tougher to land a job these days, but not so much in one field in which salaries are climbing fast and employers are offering robust perks.
Once a source of US economic resilience, the nation’s job market is now weaker than it has been in recent years, and it’s still unclear if it will soften further. In July, the labor market had the fewest available jobs since January 2021, according to government figures released Wednesday. Job growth has also slowed over the past several months, with employers adding fewer jobs than expected in August after logging a tepid 89,000 job gain in July, the Labor Department said Friday in a separate report.
But a few industries are defying the slowdown. The health care industry is still the leading job creator, though law enforcement is also seeing some momentum. Police departments and sheriff’s offices across are clamoring for new recruits after grappling with a sharp drop in applicants and a wave of retirements after George Floyd’s murder in 2020 caused many to be wary of working for a police force, recruiters told CNN.
