One local sector stays hot despite Baltimore’s weak hiring market

Greater Baltimore’s hiring outlook is slumping with the rest of the country’s, but one industry is standing strong amid the slowdown. The Baltimore metro’s overall hiring picture is the third worst among 55 U.S. metro areas with a population of at least 1 million, according to new data from payroll giant ADP, which identified the nation’s hottest hiring markets based on pay growth, starting wages and hiring rate for 15 million workers.
