So if it wasn't for jobs added in December it would've been negative. On the bright side, given the large number of tech jobs added in December, maybe things are starting to picking up again?
(seems a bit odd as usually there's not much hiring going on around the holidays, yet in 2023 December had the highest hiring numbers according to that data)
- freedude 3y agoWith the current state of reporting, I would expect those numbers to be revised down like they did for the last year or so. It seems for the last year or two the numbers are revised down once or twice after they are released.
- microtherion 3y agoFor the last year, yes, in all but one month the numbers ended up being revised down. In 2022, there were slightly more months (7) with upward revisions than downward (5) https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesnaicsrev.htm https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesnaicsrev.htm

- CoastalCoder 3y agoI'm not sure overall. In my particular case One company is planning to make me an offer, but they have to wait for the new FY to start in February before they can seek approval for another remote employee. The other company is hiring to replace someone who recently left. The team is pretty lean, so IIUC they can't easily cover the departing employee's skillset.
