Here’s where the jobs are — in one chart

Published 3 hours ago|Updated an hour ago

Thomas Franck@tomwfranck

May’s overall job growth disappointed, but there were pockets of strength with solid hiring in the health care, computer and digital design, and food service industries.



The Labor Department’s Friday report on the employment situation also showed a decline in retail positions while manufacturing added to a string of lackluster prints.

CNBC studied the net changes by industry for May jobs based on the data from the Labor Department contained in the jobs report. The government said the U.S. economy added just 75,000 jobs last month, far fewer than the 180,000 increase expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.

   A net loss of 15,000 Gov. jobs is encouraging.

That is encouraging.  Most thru attrition I would suspect.

We gained 103.5k jobs and lost 27.6k jobs.
A net gain of 75.9k
This is called "lackluster".
During the previous administration, this would have been hailed as amazing job growth.

This is a bad headline.  Should read where NEW jobs are.
