Spokane-area job numbers are rebounding with higher-wage industries leading trend in growth.
The number of jobs in Spokane County likely will reach prerecession levels this summer, at least a year earlier than projected last year, says Doug Tweedy, Spokane-based regional labor economist with the Washington state Employment Security Department.
The mix of jobs, though, is changing, as some sectors, including construction and retail, are still lagging in the recovery, Tweedy says.
