CNBC studied the net change in employment by industry for April based on data from the Labor Department.
A torrent of layoffs in the leisure and hospitality industry led the U.S. economy to its worst month of job losses in modern history.
The job losses at The Cheesecake Factory would be reflected in the April jobs report instead of the March print because of the way the government surveys businesses and households. "The changes in these measures reflect the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and efforts to contain it. Employment fell sharply in all major industry sectors, with particularly heavy job losses in leisure and hospitality," the Labor Department said in a release.
The industry figures came as part of the Labor Department's April 2020 jobs report, which showed that payrolls plunged by 20.5 million last month while the unemployment rate rocketed to 14.7%, record levels in the post-World War II era.
