The report shows that 3.6 million Americans are displaced, more than 900, 000
The labor market remains a bright spot in an otherwise faltering economy. The U.S. total employment returned to pre-pandemic levels last month, and the unemployment rate was at a 50 year low.

Leisure and hospitality workers as a percentage of 848 all displaced persons in the survey, up from 5% previously. Professional and business services, manufacturing and education, and health services were also among the hardest hit industries.
