This is a very good news. Job growth in some states indicates a recovering economy. However, as the national unemployment condition has not changed much, the government should still make efforts to boost the economy. Creating jobs is a difficult task, and instead of focusing on manufacturing industry, we should try to create more job opportunities in the service industry.
ReplyDeleteThis is another good sign for economic recovery. More jobs equals more output which is what is needed to get the economy stabilized.
ReplyDeleteI am very excited to hear about this! This is an excellent sign that we are headed in the right direction. This is good news for college students, we should even try to use this information and apply for jobs in states that are doing well.
