Revelio Labs Launches Revelio Public Labor Statistics

Revelio Labs introduced a groundbreaking resource in labor market analytics with the launch of the Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS). In its first edition released on September 4, 2025, the report highlights that the U.S. economy saw an addition of only 50,000 jobs in August, a figure that falls short of expectations.

According to Revelio's Chief Economist Lisa Simon, these findings point to a weakening economic landscape characterized by modest job growth and stagnant labor market conditions. In detail, new job postings showcased a month-over-month increase in salaries of 0.6%, yet the overall demand for job positions has seen a decline for multiple consecutive months.

The latest data from the RPLS reveals a 0.3% decrease in active job postings month-over-month, alongside further drops in hiring and attrition rates—0.2% and 0.3% respectively. This continuous downturn reflects a significant hinderance to labor market dynamism, suggesting that both job seekers and employers are operating under cautious conditions.

Simon's analysis indicates that the relatively stagnant growth in salaries for new job openings mirrors that of existing employees. This alignment further diminishes incentives for individuals to seek new employment opportunities, perpetuating the current stagnation in the job market.

In unveiling the RPLS, Revelio Labs emphasizes its commitment to providing credible and clear insights into workforce trends. The data set is derived from over 100 million U.S. profiles, making it a rich resource that delivers a comprehensive view of employment dynamics in segments where conventional surveys fall short.

RPLS not only tracks employment levels but also explores wages, job transitions, and sector performance, offering an encompassing analysis that aims to close the existing information gap within labor market statistics. This transparency is crucial for policymakers, businesses, and the general public alike.

August 2025 Highlights:

The report details changes in employment across various sectors, noting the following key metrics:

• - Total nonfarm employment increased by 49.7 thousand.
• - Although the total private sector saw a gain of 105.9 thousand jobs, specific sectors experienced noteworthy declines. For example:

- The retail trade sector lost 4.0 thousand jobs.
- The transportation and warehousing sector saw a decrease of 2.0 thousand jobs.
- The government sector witnessed a significant drop of 56.3 thousand jobs.

In terms of salary trends by sector, the report delineates a month-over-month salary change across various sectors as follows:

• - Overall salary in the U.S. stood at $72,842 with a 0.62% increase.
• - Certain sectors reported higher or lower salary adjustments, including an increase in the Information sector salaries by 1.10%, while Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting reflected a -0.68% change.

Data Sources and Methodology:

The Research conducted for the RPLS utilized comprehensive datasets that closely reflect the U.S. employed population. By covering two-thirds of all employed individuals, RPLS surpasses the limitations observed in traditional BLS surveys, which account for approximately 27% of the working population. This depth of data allows for a timely publication of metrics like total nonfarm employment, job openings, hiring and attrition rates, and new salary statistics, available across occupational and sector-based classifications.

As the workforce intelligence sector evolves, Revelio Labs emerges as a leader in delivering actionable insights that enable organizations and policymakers to make informed decisions. With its commitment to a transparent labor market, Revelio Labs is paving the way for improved workforce efficiency.
