New Jersey’s job market has almost fully recovered from pandemic-related losses

On Thursday, we learned New Jersey’s job market has almost fully recovered from those tough days. The state labor department reports that New Jersey has regained 95% of the jobs lost in March and April of 2020 when pandemic lockdowns hit the state hard.
