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 April, the US economy added ~66 thousand jobs, predominantly driven by the Health Care and Social Services and Finance sectors.

Labor demand continued to cool in April, with RPLS showing active job postings declining further month-on-month. Decreases were led by the Education and Health Services and Financial Activities sectors.
View releaseHiring and Attrition
The hiring rate ticked up in April, while attrition remained flat, resulting in positive job growth last month. While still in a downtrend, hiring finally moved higher, with the overall hiring rate rising 0.3pp from March to April. Gains were led by the Information and Financial Activities industries, which rose 1.2pp and 0.9pp, respectively.
View releaseSalaries
Salaries from new job postings ticked down very slightly in April, decreasing by a tenth of a percent from March to April. This is the second consecutive month of falling salaries. Sectors driving the decline were Leisure and Hospitality, and Utilities.
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 of layoffs increased slightly in April. Layoff notices were concentrated in the wholesale trade sector.

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.
