The Buffalo Niagara job market laid an egg in September.
While job growth has slowed to a crawl for most of this year, hiring turned negative in September, with the region losing 3,500 jobs from September 2016 to September 2017, according to new data released Thursday by the state Labor Department.
It was the worst job loss for any month over the past 7 1/2 years, dating back to March 2010, and just the fifth month during that time that the region has actually lost jobs. It also was the first time in at least 27 years that the region failed to add jobs from August to September — typically a period of robust hiring as students return to school and local colleges and universities build up their staffs.
