Economists expect that on Friday the jobs report will continue 2017's trend of strong growth.
Overall, as the summer winds to a close the labor market looks mixed. At the end of July, unemployment was at 4.3%, but hourly earnings had increased only 0.8% over the past year. Jobless claims have ticked up by a small amount, but job growth continues unabated.
That continued expansion is no small thing. The U.S. economy is currently enjoying one of its longest uninterrupted growth streaks since the Great Depression, with employers continuing to add jobs and the unemployment rate falling at roughly the same rate it has since 2009.
It isn't necessarily good for everyone, however. The economy, of course, behaves erratically Even while employers create a tight labor market by adding jobs they refuse to compete for these ostensibly-scarce workers, keeping wage gains low and generally focused on a few industries.
Here, thanks do data from Glassdoor.com, are five industries where gains continue to lag.
