"Where the jobs are: Job gains were across the board in May too. Health care increased by 47,000 jobs, while business services -- which includes marketing and accounting jobs -- gained 63,000 jobs. Construction also had a good month, adding 17,000 new jobs.
The one drag is energy companies. They continued to slash jobs due to low gas and oil prices. Mining and drilling jobs dropped by 17,000 in May -- the fifth consecutive month of energy job losses.
But overall, the job market made strong gains.
It's timely progress for the economy as the Federal Reserve board meets in two weeks. The Fed is widely expected not to raise its main interest rate when it meets June 17, but Fed Chair Janet Yellen will speak to the press and offer her outlook on the economy. If conditions continue to improve, interest rates could rise for the first time in about a decade -- another healthy sign for America's economy."
