⚠️ The United States (US) Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will publish the 2025 preliminary benchmark revision to the Establishment Survey Data on Tuesday, September 9

The preliminary revision will cover the 12-month period through March 2025 before the final benchmark revision is reported within the employment report of February 2026. The chart below puts the revisions in perspective: ➡️ 2024 just delivered the biggest downward benchmark revision since 2008 nearly -800k jobs erased. ➡️ That’s exactly why the BLS revision matters: if 2025 takes another -550k to -950k hit, it won’t just mark back-to-back historic revisions. ➡️ It will prove the labor market was overstated for years, not months.
