Hot job markets in a cooling economy
| September 17, 2008 |  View for printing |
The past year has been a rocky one for the U.S. economy.
The nation has seen 394,000 private-sector jobs slip away since mid-2007, equaling a loss of 7,570 jobs each week. The unemployment rate has shot up a full point during the same span -- from 4.7 percent at the halfway point of 2007 to 5.7 percent this year.
But a few sections of the country have managed to dodge this economic carnage. The most prominent exception is Texas, which is home to America's three hottest labor markets, according to a new bizjournals study.
