CNBC studied the net changes by industry for February jobs based on the data from the Labor Department.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Professional and business services added to a hot streak of strong employment gains, but big losses in the construction industry threw cold water on the February jobs report, the worst month for job growth since September 2017.
The construction industry posted a net loss of 31,000 jobs in February, with declines of 13,000 jobs in both civil engineering and specialty trade contractors.
