The latest jobs report means the worst could be behind us
From retail to restaurants across America, people are returning to their old jobs or finding new ones. Here are the professions that reported the highest gain:

In May, restaurants and bars recovered nearly 1.4 million jobs by reopening nationwide, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

While restaurants and bars were classified by states as essential activities that could only take away and deliveries, many were still closed during residence orders. Some companies have found it difficult, or economically impossible, to adopt that model, or have other public health problems.

Another sector that posted gains was the construction sector, where jobs increased 464,000 in May, making up almost half of what they lost in April. The construction activity is part of the first phase of reopening and many projects are starting to work again.

Retail workers

Socialization points are marked on the floor inside the Aviator Nation clothing store.
In the retail trade, 367,800 jobs have returned, with the clothing stores having the biggest gains. Gap announced in May that it will reopen 800 stores, including Old Navy, gap (GPS), Banana Republic and Athleta brand stores.

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said this week that the company had hired more than 300,000 coworkers in the United States since March, most of whom are temporary workers, to help “ease some of the burden on” current warehouse workers. and to offer those who have lost their jobs more opportunities.

Factory workers

Surgical masks are made of spunbond polypropylene fabric.

The factory works are also back, as they are in the first phase of reopening. The manufacturing industry added 225,000 jobs.

This is good news for an industry that saw its biggest drop in production in March 1946. Cars, aircraft and other factories stopped operating to protect workers from the pandemic.

Dentists

Healthcare hires increased significantly in May, supported by the reopening of dental practices, which added 244,800 jobs.

“This news is certainly encouraging for the economy and the dental industry, but it is also important as patients are returning with confidence and confidence in their clinicians and understand the link between good oral health and general body health.” said Pat Bauer, president and CEO of Heartland Dental, which supports over 1,000 dental practices in the United States. The company estimates that dental surgeries have added nearly 6,000 jobs, all employees returning from chains.

Delivery and laundry workers

Meanwhile, personal and laundry services have added 182,300 jobs. This category includes all food delivery workers classified as employees but does not count contractors, such as Uber Eats’ postmattors and part-time workers or some Amazon drivers. The laundry is considered an essential activity and some precautionary locks have been reopened.
