Monthly labor market indicators come from two primary sources. The Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Current Employment Statistics program provides the official “jobs numbers,” or estimates of employment by industry. Alternatively, the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program provides the data for the official unemployment rate statistics for local markets across the U.S.
You can explore the latest market trends in these statistics with our Market Graphs and Analysis tool using the links below. In addition, we’ve compiled historical data in Excel spreadsheets to make it easy for you to analyze the data on your own.
