The most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics Jobs Report shows the number of jobs added in July was above market expectations [1]. The general unemployment rate and long-term unemployment rate recovered back to pre-pandemic levels. Unemployment rates for Latina and Black women decreased in July 2022.

NDWA Labs’ July Report similarly shows that the percentage of jobless domestic worker respondents in July decreased slightly compared to June.
