Quote
The [Bureau of Labor Statistics employment report] showed employment up by more than one million in July, as the number of unemployed fell and more people returned to the labor force. Although there are concerns regarding the impact of the delta variant, these data show an economy that was continuing to recover in July.”
–MBA Chief Economist Mike Fratantoni
