That total jumped to 100,000 when including education jobs, as some economists do.Health care and social assistance added more than 70,000 jobs in each of the prior two months as well.
"Healthcare alone has accounted for 35% of the job gains in the past 3 months, with the industry's employment increasing at a 4.4% annualised pace.

Professional and business services also lost about 8,000 jobs. That was driven by a loss of more than 22,000 jobs for temporary help services, which could be an early warning sign that the labor market is weakening. "We also see signs that firms are looking to cut labour usage by the fact that temporary help employment is falling . ...
