Revelio Labs Announces Public Labor Statistics in Response to BLS Developments

NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Revelio Labs today announced the development of its new labor market data initiative, Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS), stepping in to provide critical aggregate labor statistics amid growing challenges faced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

"We're making labor market statistics freely available because we believe that trusted data on the macroeconomy should be a public good," said Ben Zweig, CEO of Revelio Labs. "Revelio has long been the trusted source for micro-level data of the workforce dynamics of firms, and this represents a natural extension that we can offer to the public."

Powered by a dataset representing close to the whole population of employed people in the United States, RPLS will draw from 150+ million U.S. profiles that mirror the national workforce and cover 85% of all employed individuals, compared to an estimated 27% from the BLS establishment survey and 0.03% from the BLS household survey. RPLS will publish (a) changes in employment, (b) job openings and employee hiring/separation rates, and (c) wages of new positions. This covers most of the headline metrics released on Jobs Friday, with the exceptions of the unemployment rate and labor force participation rate, which are sourced from unemployment claims and household surveys. All metrics will be available by occupation (SOC 2-digit), sector (NAICS 2-digit), and state.

Lisa Simon, Chief Economist at Revelio Labs, stated: "We at Revelio Labs have deep respect for the BLS and its decades-long public service of providing public employment statistics. But we also recognize that underfunding and outdated methodologies have made it increasingly difficult for the BLS to keep pace with the caliber of data quality that the market has come to expect."

Revelio Labs will publish its data monthly, releasing RPLS updates the day before Jobs Friday and the day before the JOLTS releases, respectively. These statistics aim to close the growing information gap and contribute to a fuller, more accurate view of the U.S. workforce.
