New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 05/02/2022 --The Jobs Report delivered at the start of March 2022 showed much stronger than expected growth with 678,000 jobs added to payroll data. This was significantly above the forecast figures for the period, which were closer to 420,000. The rate of unemployment also fell at the start of the year, dropping from 4% to 3.8%, another indicator that the US employment market is doing better. Among the sectors fueling US jobs growth is financial recruitment. However, while wage growth may have soared in recent months - thanks to the pressure on businesses to fill record numbers of vacancies - the March report saw this flatline. Nevertheless, the forecast for jobs growth remains strong, including in the financial recruitment sector. Some slowing is forecast due to the war in Ukraine but, especially in the longer term, there is plenty to be positive about for anyone currently looking to enter - or move around in - the employment market.
