Change in the monthly estimate of new jobs from the preliminary estimates, in thousands

Notes: The Current Employment Statistics first preliminary estimates of employment are published each month approximately 3 weeks after the reference period. Estimates are then revised twice, before being held constant until the annual benchmarking process. Final sample-based estimates are published 2 months after the initial release. Technical information on revisions can be found in the revisions section of the CES handbook of methods webpage.
