This view presents U.S. payroll employment from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (Current Employment Statistics). Choose one or more series, a presentation style, and multiple years to compare on the same calendar axis. Values are in thousands of persons.
Styles:
Level: the published employment level for each month.
YTD Gains: this year’s level minus last December’s level (lines start at 0 in Dec).
YoY Change: the monthly level minus the level 12 months earlier.
Payroll data are revised regularly; the backend refreshes the full history on updates so revisions are reflected here.
