New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) presents a different view of 2021’s job market than originally reported.
Every January, BLS adjusts the previous year’s employment statistics to make them more precise. The changes are based on more detailed surveys conducted every March.
Initial BLS data showed peaks and valleys in the monthly job reports. The January update revealed a job market seemingly unaffected by the Delta and Omicron variants, gaining jobs at a steady pace throughout the year.
