Stevenson breaks down last jobs report of 2022 on Bloomberg

January 6, 2023 Bloomberg

Betsey Stevenson, Bloomberg: "It's a very strong jobs report. What we saw was ongoing job growth. 2021 was the strongest year of job growth we've ever had, and 2022 came in there as the second. We did see some slowdown as the year continued but even if you're just looking at those last three months where we averaged 247,000 jobs a month for three months—that's pretty high job growth compared to the whole 21st century. The job market is strong and where that strength is coming from right now are the sectors that were the slowest to recover from the pandemic."
