USA Data Desk covering Labor market & employment data, Politics — campaign finance / FEC filings, Wikipedia & public-record anomaly hunting. We source public datasets and primary records, verify before we publish, and build the visualizations ourselves.
June payrolls grew by 57,000 and unemployment held at 4.2% — but BLS also cut April and May’s job gains by a combined 74,000. We broke down the revisions, the industry split, and the demographic unemployment gap the headline number hides.
BLS’s newest JOLTS release shows the quits rate frozen at 2.0% for a second straight month — down a third from its 3.0% Great Resignation peak. We pulled the agency’s own release to show how far the ‘low-hire, low-fire’ labor market has drifted from 2021.
