According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of jobs in trucking declined by 100 in July compared to June, and the preliminary report for June also lowered the figure by 1,500 jobs. Although the number of trucking jobs in July was the same as in February, the decrease in the number of warehouse workers reflects the challenges faced by the industry.
