A whopping 82% of jobs “created” in February were minimum wage teachers, retail trade, and waiters, bartenders and chambermaids. February suffered the biggest ever monthly drop in average weekly earnings. What about well-paying jobs like finance, trucking, manufacturing or mining? +6K, -5K, -16K, and -18K, for a net loss of 33k jobs.
Of the 242,000 jobs added, 304,000 of them were part time. That means the economy actually shed 62,000 full-time jobs.
Field service inspectors need to search out the higher quality firms that pay the higher fees in the commercial and insurance segments. Avoid the low-fee mortgage segment. Move up to a higher level with some training in commercial insurance loss control inspections.
Interesting stats. I’m not seeing these in the general media coverage.
