The most common occupation for women in the US is that of registered nurse.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(BLS) (DOL)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results of the American community survey conducted in 2017 show that the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthcareers.co\/nursing-statistics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">occupation of registered nurse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> counts around 2.1 million female employees and thus is the most common occupation among US women. The highest employment levels for registered nurses in 2018 were in California, Texas, and New York. With 87.3% of this workforce being female, the occupation contributes significantly to the lowering of women\u2019s unemployment rates. There\u2019s still a nation-wide shortage for this profession according to BLS data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>28. Ambulatory services represented the leading employment sector in healthcare for September 2019.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Healthcare Dive)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US unemployment rate <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in September 2019 reached a record low after the last 50 years (3.5%). Education and healthcare were the leading industries that contributed to this record, with high hiring and job creation rates. Healthcare contributed 37,200 new jobs in August and a staggering 38,800 new jobs in September. Of this, ambulatory services accounted for 28,700, hospitals created an additional 8,100 jobs, and residential care and other nursing facilities produced another 2,000 positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>29. Optometrists, veterinarians, physicians, and surgeons are among the positions with the highest job security and the <\/b><b>lowest unemployment rate<\/b><b>.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(USA Today)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinary assistants and animal caretakers have an unemployment rate lower than 0.1%, and the number of new positions is projected to grow by over 19.4% from 2016 to 2026. Consequently, these are some of the most prosperous job positions. Optometrists had 0.1% unemployment and over 17.9% job growth in the same period, and physicians and surgeons had a 0.4% unemployment rate with over 12.8% job growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>30. As of September 2019, healthcare was the top industry supporting the current, historically low unemployment rate.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(CNBC)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In September 2015, the BLS recorded the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lowest unemployment rate in US history <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">since WWI (when the statistics show unemployment was as low as 1%). In September 2019, healthcare added 39,000 jobs, contributing more to the low unemployment rate (3.5%) than every other industry. The average job creation in healthcare throughout 2019 was an estimated 35,000 jobs per month. However, this number is lower than that of<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018, when this industry counted 47,000 new jobs monthly.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><b>FAQ<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>What is the unemployment rate in the US today?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The unemployment rate in the US in December 2019 was 3.5%. The projected rate for March 2020 is 3.7%. These figures show that the American labor market will remain stronger than it has been over the last 50 years.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there was a sudden spike in the number of unemployment benefits claims filed in the first week of December 2019. December and January usually witness the most significant US labor market turnover. However, the American economy for the time being stays strong, although figuring out future trends is very tricky.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is US unemployment at an all-time low?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In September 2019, the unemployment rate fell down to its lowest in 50 years (3.5%), but the previous big drop in US history was recorded in May of 1953, when it reached 2.5%. However, the BBC stated that regardless of this 50-year record, the wage growth has remained the same. What\u2019s more, the number of manufacturing jobs fell in September last year. Still, December 2019 was the 22nd consecutive month where the unemployment rate was lower than 4%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the real unemployment rate in the United States<\/b><b> for <\/b><b>2019?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the US, the unemployment rate is a percentage based on the number of people actively looking for a job, in relation to the number of the working-age population who are either employed or looking for work, also known as the national labor force. In 2019, the real median unemployment rate was registered as 3.67%. The trend of unemployment has decreased since the beginning of 2019, until it reached a constant of 3.7% in the summer months and dropped again in September (3.5%).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is unemployment going to be down in 2019<\/b><b> and 2020<\/b><b>?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The unemployment rate for 2019 was relatively low, dropping to 3.5% in September. Unemployment is generally affected by factors such as job creation and the total demand for goods and services, international competition, level of education, and automation, as well as the labor force demographics. These factors can affect the number of active workers, the duration of unemployment, and wage rates. The projections for the beginning of 2020 are more optimistic than last year, with an unemployment rate of 3.7% for January, 0.3 percentage points lower than January 2019\u2019s rate.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the lowest unemployment rate in US history?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded the all-time low since the end of WWII as taking place in May 1953, when it was 2.5%. Other statistics go as far back as 1912. Following the historical data, the lowest rate of unemployment in the US was noted during WWI (1%). On the other hand, the record-high unemployment rate in US history took place during the Great Depression, affecting one-quarter of the labor force (25%). In recent history, the highest unemployment rate was 10.8%, registered in November of 1982.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the unemployment rate today?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent global reports find that the world\u2019s unemployment rate in 2019 was below 5%, the lowest measured since the worldwide economic crisis in 2008. However, the data reported from different regions differs in the date of collection and some is missing. The International Labor Organization (ILO) reports that the jobs being created are in majority with poor quality, keeping more than 10% of the world\u2019s population in extreme poverty. More than 172 million people worldwide were unemployed in 2018. The unemployment rate in the US in 2019 was 3.7%, or around 6 million unemployed people.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US unemployment trends<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> indicate an optimal period for workers. However, job quality remains unchanged. Nowadays, the US has the lowest unemployment rate since half a century ago. Similarly, other Western countries note the lowest numbers in decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, certain issues in regards to diversity are still creating obvious gaps in unemployment in the US and worldwide. For example, women\u2019s unemployment rates are regularly higher than those of men, especially for mothers of young children, leaving room for improvement. Nevertheless, projections point out that unemployment rates might change direction. In fact, the US history of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unemployment trends<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> assures us of one thing\u2014unemployment rates in the healthcare sector will remain low and undisturbed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sources:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a
