WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. employers accelerated their hiring last month, adding a robust 288,000 jobs and helping drive the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since September 2008.
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.
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.
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.
