This article reports on the relatively tight labor market in the Washington suburbs. With fewer people left unemployed, then the pace of job growth must slow, and therefore the pace of economic growth must also slow.
Most workers probably have the exact opposite perspective.
Workers typically value economic growth because it generates jobs, and ideally creates tight labor markets in which workers can experience significant wage gains, as appears to be happening at present. This informative article analyzes the data in the Labor Department's employment report for May. At one point the article suggests that manufacturing employment is likely to increase in coming months, because manufacturers have a growing backlog of new orders. This comment presumably refers to the Census Department's data on new orders, as well as various surveys done by private groups. It is important to recognize that the orders measured by these surveys will not necessarily be filled by domestic production.
