With the release of January 2025 data on February 7, 2025, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) introduced its annual revision to national estimates of employment, hours, and earnings from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) monthly survey of nonfarm establishments.

The March 2024 benchmarked, seasonally adjusted employment level for total nonfarm employment is 157,517,000. The not seasonally adjusted benchmarked employment level is 156,612,000.

Compared with the sample-based, seasonally adjusted published estimate for March 2024, total nonfarm employment had a revision of −589,000 or −0.4 percent. The not seasonally adjusted total nonfarm employment estimate was revised by −598,000 or −0.4 percent.
