In February 2024, the truck transportation sector saw minimal change, shedding only 300 jobs, indicating a stable employment landscape since August 2022. This stability comes amidst broader fluctuations in the freight industry, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics revising January’s job numbers downward by 4,200. Conversely, warehouse employment continued its decline, losing 6,800 jobs and totaling a 183,500 job decrease since its peak in May 2022. This ongoing trend underscores the sector’s significant adjustments post-pandemic, as companies shift from stockpiling to “just-in-time” inventory management in response to evolving consumer demand and economic conditions.
