(ATHENS, TX.) After long months of the coronavirus pandemic putting a kink in U.S. economic prospects, the national market is looking strongly up — and these Athens companies are hiring.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm payrolls rose by 916,000 in March, the most recent month available, and the unemployment rate fell 0.2% percentage points to 6.0%.
The change amounted to a sharp uptick in hiring in the economy over the previous month, more than doubling the 379,000 jobs added in February. That brought the total number of unemployed people in the country down to 9.7 million
But while the increase showed improvement in the economy, unemployment nationwide in March was still up 2.5 percentage points from its level in February 2020, showing the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy.
The total number of unemployed people in March was likewise close to double its pre-pandemic level.
