Employment in advertising, public relations and related services increased by 1,000 jobs in September 2021, the smallest job gain since the spring, reports AdAge.

For the overall economy, U.S. employers in September added 194,000 jobs, the weakest employment increase this year, according to the monthly employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Job growth was held in check by the delta variant of the coronavirus and a persistent shortage of workers.

U.S. employment in the BLS classification of advertising, public relations and related services increased to 450,900 jobs in September. Job growth in that sector was the slowest since April, but the ad business still delivered its eighth consecutive month of growth since ad jobs hit a pandemic period low of 432,100 in January.
