6. The latest data -- through August

Monthly increases
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001?output_view=net_1mth

I set the date range from 2024 to 2025 (the default is 2015 to 2025, both date ranges include thru August 2025) because the latter range -- with the huge pandemic changes in 2020 -- make everything before and after look like tiny squiggles hugging the x axis.

January 2024 - August 2025


These numbers do not include the downward 911,000 jobs revision in the April 1, 2024 thru March 31, 2025 period that was announced in September. They have not, and it's my understanding they never will come up with a month-by-month breakdown . It's an average of 76,000 jobs per month downward. I believe these will show up in the data series in early March 2026, but will have to dig for the articles.

When it does show up in the data series, are they just going to adjust each of the monthly numbers down by 76,000? I don't know.

They do this kind of 12-months revision annually. IIRC, the previous one was something over 500k downward. I could dig in and find out what they did as far as adjusting the data series, if I took the time to find out.
