Which sector was among the few to add workers in August 2025?

Question

Accepted Answer

Healthcare added jobs in August despite overall weak hiring, continuing its role as the economy's most consistent employment engine. The sector benefits from demographic aging (10,000 Americans turn 65 daily), inelastic demand (people need medical care regardless of economic conditions), and government funding stability through Medicare/Medicaid. Unlike manufacturing (tariff-sensitive) or professional services (recession-vulnerable), healthcare hiring proves resilient even as other sectors shed workers.
