In September of this year the winner for most jobs added is the education and health industry with 40,000 new jobs. The big loser was the retail industry with a loss of 11,400. Since reaching a peak in January 2017, retail trade has lost 197,000 jobs. This is unsurprising considering how market places such as Amazon have put a huge dent in the traditional retail industry. Wages increased on a slower pace than August. Unemployment fell to a new 50 year low of 3.5% showing that even with a possible recession upcoming the market is still going strong.

i would agree with the fact that it is unsurprising to see a fall in the traditional retail industry. Online shopping has changed the way people prefer to shop
