Manufacturing added 13,000 new jobs in January, according to preliminary Department of Labor data.
Despite fears that the Omicron COVID-19 variant could cause a significant downturn in new January employment, the Department of Labor reported that the private nonfarm economy added 467,000 jobs.

The ADP predicted that the U.S. would lose 21,000 manufacturing and 301,000 overall jobs in January.
