Revelio Labs Reports on Job Growth in the U.S. Amid BLS Shutdown in September

Revelio Labs Unveils Latest Employment Trends Amid Federal Challenges

Revelio Labs has published its latest edition of the Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS), detailing employment trends for September 2025. The report reveals that the U.S. economy added 60,000 jobs during September. This number surpasses initial expectations but indicates a broader deceleration in the labor landscape.

The context of the report is particularly important due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, which has temporarily halted the official jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Without the BLS's insights, Revelio's data provides an essential alternative view regarding employment dynamics across the nation.

In a deeper analysis, Revelio spotted a 0.6% drop in active job postings from August to September, complemented by a slight decline of 0.3% in salaries advertised for new positions. Other metrics presented in the report also showed a reduced vibrancy in the labor market: both hiring and attrition rates witnessed a minor decrease of 0.1 percentage points. This contraction signals ongoing challenges in labor market activity, as per Revelio's Chief Economist, Lisa Simon, who commented on the implications of the data:

“Although our September figure suggests a gain above expectations, it still represents a modest increase. It's evident that job postings, alongside a drop in advertised salaries, hiring, and attrition rates, point toward a continuing slowdown in the market.
