Employment
Non-farm employment measures the total employment in the US (public and private) leveraging individual level data collected from online professional profiles. The monthly change in this total employment is a proxy for number of jobs added in the economy during the month. In December, the US economy added approximately 71 thousand jobs, predominantly driven by employment employment gains in Education and Health Services, and Professional and Business Services.
View releaseHiring and Attrition
Hiring appears to finally be showing signs of improvement after a years-long slowdown. The annualized hiring rate ticked up from 24.2% in November to 25.0% in December, giving job seekers some additional hope going into the new year. The increase in hiring was led by the Information and Financial Activities sectors. Attrition also ticked up along with hiring, but not as much, leading to the relatively strong job gains posted in December. Overall, the increase in hiring and attrition will be a welcome sign for a labor market that was swiftly losing its dynamism.
View releaseJob Openings
Job postings data continues to show weakening demand, which bodes ill for job creation moving into the new year. Active job postings ticked down 1.4% from November to December, with almost all industries showing decreases month over month and year over year. The biggest declines in labor demand in December compared to the year prior were found in Public Administration (-35.5%), Other Services (-32%), and Professional and Business Services (-30.2%).
View releaseSalaries
Salaries from new job postings ticked down slightly in December, by -0.5% compared to November 2025. Sectors driving the decrease are Education and Health, Agriculture, and Leisure and Hospitality. Salaries increased for Transportation and Warehousing and in the Financial Sector.
View releaseMass-layoff Notices
Layoffs data are based on mass layoff events in the WARN notices. The WARN act requires businesses with 100 or more full-time workers must issue advance layoff notices if they plan to lay off at least 50 employees. The notices should be handed to employees and submitted to the Department of Labor 60 days in advance. The number of employees notified with layoffs has declined in December, and so is the number of employees laid off based on previous notices.

About RPLS
Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS) is a freely available macroeconomic labor market dataset built from 100+ million U.S. profiles to provide a clear, transparent view of workforce dynamics. It follows a format similar to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and is designed to be used alongside it, tracking employment levels, wages, and job transitions at a scale that traditional surveys cannot, offering a continuous picture of the labor market. Our hope is that RPLS helps close the growing information gap and delivers unbiased and trustworthy data on the U.S. workforce for policymakers, businesses, and the public.
