Employment Growth

Jobs growth is a figure measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that tracks how many jobs are created in the country on a monthly basis. ... The Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles the data by sending out a survey and publishing the results every month.

Fields where job growth will see a 9 percent increase or more over the next 10 years are considered to be growing faster than average ⁠— average being between 5 percent and 8 percent. Slow growth is generally between 2 percent and 4 percent

Employment is a relationship between two parties, usually based on a contract where work is paid for, where one party, which may be a corporation, for profit, not-for-profit organization, co-operative or other entity is the employer and the other is the employee.
