Thanks.

WSJ What’s News · Surprisingly Strong Jobs Report Hints at an Improving Labor Market · 11 Feb 2026 podcast

I think because of what they had seen over the past several months, which was very, very, very slow job growth.

And also, we just don't expect to see very high job growth these days because we have such lower immigration to the country and the supply of workers is much lower than it was before.

I mean, it's mostly health care and social services.

They're sort of adjacent to one another.

There are other sectors that we saw growth in.

Construction, that could reflect the data center construction going on.

Manufacturing did a little better.

But it's really health services, health services, health services, which has really been powering the job market for a long time now.

We have an aging population.

We have more health care needs.

So it is natural to expect that we're going to see demand for these health care jobs continue.

Thank you.

I'm Justin Lehart.

I'm an economics reporter in New York.
