Health Care Field Adds Jobs

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the health care field added 125,500 jobs in July, increasing nearly 1% to a seasonally adjusted 15.7 million. Office-based providers, such as physicians and dentists, continued to account for much of the increase. Nursing and residential care facilities continued to lose jobs and are about 6.5% below their peak in February 2020.
