Federal statistics show that New Jersey's labor underutilization — the number of people in the state either unemployed or underemployed — declined during 2019.
According to new figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 94,000 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses were reported by New Jersey employers throughout 2015. Certain industries appear more vulnerable than others.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Unions representing government workers are expanding while organized labor has been shedding private sector members over the past half-century.
New Jersey added tens of thousands of new private sector jobs last year, but new figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show New Jersey employers sent more workers to the unemployment line in 2011 via "mass layoff."
New Jersey employers took 585 mass layoff actions in 2011, the second-highest total in the history of the report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
