Jobs Adjustment by Industry


source

In the Great Recession on 35 percent of employment was in industries that faced cyclical employment trends in the recession. The majority of industries lost or gained jobs permanently (or at least have lost or gained jobs on a continued basis for the past 11 months).

The one outlier in the top right corner, if you can't make it out, is the "federal government" industry. It gained jobs during the recession and has gained jobs far faster than any other industry during the recovery.
