hrdive.com – Breaking down the monthly BLS job report ft. MRINetwork

Below are the most recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports on “The Employment Situation” — the bureau’s term for the monthly jobs report.

Each report provides data on the month prior (September’s report covers August numbers, for example), and numbers are regularly adjusted in future reports. Unadjusted numbers are noted in the text.

Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 559,000 jobs in May, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said. While that number comes in below economist expectations, it missed the mark by a smaller margin compared to the numbers from April, analysis from MRINetwork, a talent recruiting company, said.

In the series, which has spanned four seasons so far, Mullings travels to locations as near as Wynwood and as far-flung as Israel and Flagstaff, Arizona. Instead of sampling global cuisine, Mullings seeks out entrepreneurs specializing in disruptive technologies in science and medicine.
