CHAPEL HILL, NC (June 2, 2026) — With hiring momentum picking up in the last couple of months, it’s worth looking at which industries are driving the gains. Is this broad-based job creation or are sectors like healthcare carrying most of the load, and what can that tell us about labor market strength?
