Job growth was stronger than expected in September, thanks to a flurry of hiring by state and local governments, bars and restaurants and doctors' offices.
U.S. job growth unexpectedly surged in September, boosted by a flurry of hiring across different sectors of the economy. Employers added 336,000 jobs in September, the Labor Department said in its monthly payroll report released Friday, almost double the 170,000 jobs forecast by Refinitiv economists. It marked the best month for job creation since January. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, held steady at 3.8%.
Hiring in government was the second-biggest contributor to the headline job gain last month. The sector hired 73,000 employees in September, with the biggest gains in state government education and local government education , the result of teachers returning for the start of the school year. Another big source of job creation in September was health care, which saw payrolls increase by 40,900.
