Hospital employment climbs in June
July 02, 2009

Employment at the nation's hospitals rose in June to a seasonally adjusted 4,723,100 people, the Bureau of Labor Statistics today. That's 3,700 more than in May and 89,100 more than a year ago. Without the seasonal adjustment, which removes the effect of fluctuations due to seasonal events, hospitals employed 4,730,400 people in June, 24,300 more than in May and 87,200 more than a year ago. The nation's overall unemployment rate rose by one-tenth of a percentage point in June to 9.5%.
