 A report from the Bureau of Labor shows the number of jobs added in the United States is going down. ABC6 News reporter Carson Forsman has been following this and joins us live in the newsroom. Carson? Yeah, some are calling it, it's a shockingly low number and jobs created out last month and I talked to an employment expert who says he saw this coming. It's said to be the smallest number of jobs added in more than five years. I think people just have to look at growth going forward. It's going to be slower and I think that we've seen all the indicators now for that. According to the United States Department of Labor, last month employers added just 38,000 jobs and if you take a look you can see in the last few months the number of jobs added continues to go down. We've seen this coming because you look at the global macroeconomic trends and you're seeing weakness in China in a significant way. We're also seeing a pretty significant drag happening across Europe. Here in Southeast Minnesota some say they're having a different issue. The talent pool is thin right now. Brad Treyhan is a direct hire specialist. He says there are many job opportunities, though finding people for those jobs tends to be an issue. I can be searching for, let's say a maintenance position and maybe three, four years ago I'd have many applicants. Now you get very few. Because I think the positive thing is the labor pool for skilled people is tightening up meaning that there's actually more opportunities and people are getting hired at higher wages. The report shows the unemployment rate and the number of unemployed people have declined. Expert Jason Tru says the number of jobs lost shouldn't be alarming. I think people are investing and I still think you're seeing more jobs being out there so I really wouldn't be worried. It's not like we're back in 2007, 2008 where the sky is falling and there's really no jobs for people. I just think we're seeing just a slower economic pace. And good news for people in the medical field, according to that same report, jobs in health care have gone up and the report also says jobs lost are in mining and in manufacturing.
