While the latest federal jobs report he pointed to a job market that can be tardy rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic, one segment of the labor market has been notably absent from this recovery, and it is the one that has the most direct impact on Americans.
According to An analysis by National Association of Counties. The report found that most of these losses, amounting to 310,000 jobs, came from the education sector.
However, “another 177,000 jobs are in non-education positions, such as health care workers, social workers, law enforcement officers, maintenance crews and construction workers,” said the report, which tallied the loss of 523,000 non-education jobs since passage country in lockdown in March.
“Individuals in these positions are directly responsible for providing essential services and resources to counties, many of which are struggling with the ongoing public health crisis, resulting economic hardship, and civil unrest,” the analysis concluded.
These losses come as local and county governments, like other sectors of the economy, have experienced declines in their tax revenues. The analysis found that counties lost $114 billion in revenue.
