US Jobs Report
macro_jobsLatest U.S. labour-market data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with the headline changes computed.
Returns the unemployment rate, labour force participation rate, total nonfarm payrolls, the month-over-month change in payrolls (the "jobs added" number that leads the Employment Situation report), average hourly earnings, and year-over-year wage growth. All series are seasonally adjusted.
BLS publishes levels; the month-over-month and year-over-year changes are computed here.
When to use: reading the state of the labour market, wage-inflation context, or Fed-policy reasoning.
When NOT to use: you need state or metro level detail, industry breakdowns, or JOLTS openings and quits.
Args: none.
