There was an appetite for workers particularly in the service sector that’s been grappling with labor shortages.
Meanwhile, employment in professional and business services continued to grow, with an increase of 89,000 in July. Within the industry, job growth was widespread in management of companies and enterprises, architectural and engineering services as well as scientific research and development.
"It's not just a strong total number that highlights the health of the job market — growth was across the board and not limited to one or two sectors," said Mike Loewengart, managing director of investment strategy at E-Trade. The health-care industry also experienced robust jobs growth last month, with 70,000 adds. Goods-producing industries also posted solid gains, with construction up 32,000 and manufacturing adding 30,000.
