WASHINGTON, D.C. (WOWO): The U.S. Economy added 223,000 jobs in May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate also dropped to 3.8%.
Jennifer Winkeljohn, Branch Manager at Robert Half International in Fort Wayne, tells WOWO News it’s certainly good news for the economy and the Trump Administration:
“We’ve seen consistency this year as far as growth. Month over month, we’ve seen all sectors hiring. There was some concern as far as retail, but retail is actually up 13,000.”
