Spotlight on January Jobs report

Revelio Labs economist Lisa Simon released a January Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS) report on February 5th, showing the U.S. shed 13,000 jobs in January, reversing December’s gains and pointing to a labor market that is cooling unevenly. This aligns with recent reporting that job openings have dropped to their lowest levels in years, signaling growing hiring caution even as layoffs remain concentrated in certain sectors.
