Within the private sector, job growth was recorded in private education, health and other services, and miscellaneous business activities. These increases were partially offset by reductions in hotels, restaurants and bars, construction and quarrying, and wholesale and retail.
In the public sector, job growth was driven by growth in core staff within Health and Care Jersey, partially offset by reductions in other departments and zero-hours staff.
