For the first eight months of the year, the unemployment rate hovered between 8.1 and 8.3 percent. The number of unemployed persons decreased by 456,000 to 12.1 million in September. Roughly 40 percent of unemployed persons have been out of work for six months or more.

The largest growth area in healthcare was in ambulatory care services, which added 30,000 jobs. Hospitals added 8,000 jobs. Employment in nursing and residential care facilities grew by 5,700 jobs. Over the past year, employment in healthcare has risen by 295,000.
