[Institution: U.S. January Nonfarm Payroll Report May See Record Revision] Odaily Planet Daily News – Institutional analysis indicates that an unusually large employment report is expected to reveal the extent of the U.S. labor market's slowdown in recent years—or possibly show that it has not grown at all. In addition to the regular monthly nonfarm payroll and unemployment data, the January nonfarm payroll report to be released on Wednesday will also include highly anticipated employment data revisions. Preliminary estimates suggest that annual employment data through March 2025 will be revised downward by a record 911,000 jobs, with this revision expected to significantly lower the pace of employment growth. "This year's annual benchmark revision will be more impactful than in previous years," said Scott Anderson, Chief U.S. Economist at BMO Capital Markets. "The current labor market is indeed at the critical point between net job growth and potential job contraction." Each year, when the January employment report is released, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revises nonfarm payroll data based on the more accurate but less timely Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). This data is derived from state unemployment insurance tax records and covers the majority of jobs in the U.S. (Jin10)
