February data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey show a decline in hires to 4.8M (-498K). The hires rate fell to 3.1 percent, its lowest level since April 2020, and similar to the levels seen in the years following the Great Recession. #NumbersDay

Job openings were down in February, but January's total was revised up. On balance, openings have basically stabilized in recent months (or maybe are trending down ever so slightly). #NumbersDay

Although Challenger reported a surge in job cuts in January, that did not materialize in the official #JOLTS data. Layoffs and discharges fell just slightly between December and January and remain fairly low by historical standards.

The hires rate was unchanged in January and remains at levels similar to 2013 when the economy was still recovering from the Great Recession. Quits also remain lower than what we experienced in the tight pre-pandemic labor market. Employers and workers appear to be in a holding pattern.

U.S. consumer prices rose 0.3% in February and were up 2.4% from a year earlier. "Core" prices, excluding food and energy, were up 0.2% month/month and 2.5% year/year. But remember that all these numbers are from before the war in Iran sent gas prices soaring. #NumbersDay

The overall unemployment ticked up slightly in February, while the unemployment rate rose for Black, Asian, and Hispanic workers. Notably volatile series, but Black unemployment is now back up at 7.7% compared to only 3.7% for white workers.

While the overall employment-to-population ratio dropped because of the new population controls, the prime-age employment-to-population ratio—the share of the population 25-54 with a job—remains incredibly resilient.

Attacks on the federal workforce continue. Federal employment has shrunk an alarming 327,000 jobs since January 2025. The vital services federal employees provide cannot be done without these essential workers. The cost of these losses are only beginning to be felt.

Today's jobs report was much weaker than expected. Payroll jobs fell 92k in Feb, and revisions to Dec data show a loss of 17k jobs. Average job growth over the last 3 months now under 6k.
Household survey population controls indicate a significant drop in the labor force.
