Private sector adds jobs as more in N.J. actively seek work
In a near reversal from March, private-sector employment in New Jersey increased by 6,300 jobs in April, while the public sector shed 3,700 jobs, mostly at the local government level, according to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
“In just one month, we came within 1,000 jobs of completely reversing the March decline in private-sector employment,” said Charles Steindel, chief economist for the New Jersey Department of Treasury, in a statement. (Eder, NJBIZ)
