Jobs

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Five years after the Great Recession officially ended, most states, including New Jersey, still haven't regained all the jobs they lost, even though the nation as a whole has.

A new Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press poll released Wednesday reveals that many New Jerseyans recognize the struggles military veterans are having finding a job.

New Jersey's unemployment rate for April fell to its lowest level in five years, and more people are getting "back into the game" in the state's economy.

New Jersey officials say the state unemployment rate dropped to 6.9 percent for April, its lowest level in more than five years.

In many ways New Jersey is considered to be one of the most progressive states in the nation, so you'd probably figure we'd be ranked as one of the best states for working mothers -- but a new study finds that is not the case.

A new economic forecast from Rutgers University contains both good and bad news for New Jersey.

U.S. employers added a robust 288,000 jobs in April, the most in two years, the strongest evidence to date that the economy is picking up after a brutal winter slowed growth.

The employment outlook will be a bit brighter for college graduates this year, if statistics keep moving in the same direction.

Another $3.6 million in federal funding has arrived in New Jersey to help hire unemployed residents assist in the Superstorm Sandy rebuilding effort.

There were minimal job losses in New Jersey’s private and public sectors in March, but for the most part the state’s employment situation remained flat according to new figures by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
