September 2024 · Domestic Workers Economic Situation Report
Oct 08 2024
The most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Situation Report shows job growth above market expectations in September, and the general unemployment rate ticked down. NDWA’s September data shows that joblessness remained at 18%. After fluctuating between 15% and 16% for five months, joblessness increased to 18% in August and remained the same in September. While this is still within the lower end of joblessness rates we’ve seen since the COVID-19 pandemic began, it remains twice the rate of 9% who reported having no jobs before the pandemic.
