Trucking employment drops in U.S. in January alone, more jobs added

Over 227,000 jobs were added to the U.S. market last month, a positive step for Americans in the job market.

The job gain has been a significant one, and a job increase like this hasn’t been occurred since September.

Although the unemployment rate was 4.8 per cent last month, an increase from December, that is because more Americans are looking for work and not all have found jobs in the immediate future.
