Healthcare Industry Statistics

Healthcare was again the single largest driver of job growth in March, adding 76,000 jobs — its strongest month in recent memory. The surge was largely fueled by the return of striking physicians' office workers, with ambulatory health care services alone gaining 54,000 jobs, including 35,000 in offices of physicians. Hospitals added another 15,000. Social assistance continued its steady climb, contributing an additional 14,000 jobs primarily in individual and family services. Over the prior 12 months, health care has averaged 29,000 new jobs per month, cementing its position as the most consistent growth engine in the U.S. labor market. Job openings remain elevated at 1.18 million, and with an unemployment rate of just 2.5%, competition for healthcare talent remains intense.

Manufacturing Industry Statistics

Manufacturing added a modest 15,000 jobs in March, its best single-month gain in recent months, with all growth concentrated in durable goods. However, the sector's 12-month trajectory remains essentially flat — employment changed very little on net over the prior year. The average workweek held at 40.2 hours with overtime steady at 3.0 hours, signaling stable but uninspired production activity. Ongoing uncertainty around trade policy and tariffs continues to weigh on longer-term hiring and capital investment decisions in this sector. Job openings remain relatively low at 415,000, reflecting cautious employer sentiment.

Professional and Business Services Industry Statistics

Professional and Business Services employment was essentially unchanged in March, adding just 2,000 jobs. Temporary help services saw a modest gain of 4,400, offering a small positive signal, though the broader sector continues to reflect employer caution. Over the past several months, this sector has oscillated narrowly around flat growth, with job openings trending down from their late-2025 highs. The sector's 4.5% unemployment rate remains the highest among industries tracked here, suggesting some loosening in the professional talent market that could benefit employers competing for skilled workers.

Transportation & Warehousing Industry Statistics

Transportation and Warehousing added 21,000 jobs in March, driven entirely by a rebound in couriers and messengers (+20,000) — likely reflecting a reversal of the prior month's weather-related losses. Despite this monthly gain, the sector remains down 139,000 jobs from its February 2025 peak, as post-pandemic normalization of logistics demand continues to reshape the industry's workforce. Air transportation also showed resilience. While the monthly recovery is encouraging, the sector's longer-term trend remains one of gradual contraction, and hiring activity in warehousing and freight continues to face headwinds from shifting consumer demand patterns.

Retail Industry Statistics

Retail Trade added a modest 9,700 jobs in March, a slight bounce after a small decline in February. However, the sector's overall picture remains challenging — the 6.0% unemployment rate is the highest among all tracked industries, and job openings continue to trend at relatively low levels. The sector faces ongoing structural headwinds from e-commerce competition and cautious consumer spending, particularly in discretionary categories. With average weekly hours at just 29.8 and among the lowest hourly earnings of tracked sectors, retail remains a high-turnover, lower-wage environment that continues to struggle with both recruitment and retention.
