Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS) Reports U.S. Economy Shed 9,000 Jobs in November

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Revelio Labs today released its October edition of Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS), a monthly data release delivering transparent and reliable insights into the U.S. labor market. The latest data indicate a loss of 9,000 jobs in November, a similar decline as last month, pointing to continued weakening of the economy.

In terms of leading indicators, active job postings saw a further month-over-month decline of 0.3%, while salaries from new job postings ticked up, showing a 0.9% month-over-month increase, driven by jobs in Mining and Transportation. Both hiring and attrition rates also declined, extending the downward trend seen in recent months.

The biggest declines were driven by the Leisure and Hospitality, Retail Trade, Transportation and Warehousing, as well as Manufacturing sectors. Education and Health Services continued to add jobs, and Public Administration saw a rebound over the last month. Within these sectors, Starbucks and McDonald's (in Hospitality), Target and Walmart (in Retail), as well as AstraZeneca and Intel (in Manufacturing) saw the largest declines in employment.

"The sectors with the biggest increases and decreases in employment point to the further bifurcation of the labor market, with more white collar jobs remaining relatively strong, and blue collar work taking the brunt of the slowdown," said Chief Economist Lisa Simon.

RPLS is a freely available macroeconomic labor market set of statistics built from 100+ million U.S. profiles to provide a clear view of workforce dynamics. It follows a format similar to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), tracking employment levels, wages, and job transitions at a scale that traditional surveys cannot, offering a continuous picture of the labor market. RPLS intends to close the growing information gap and deliver unbiased data on the U.S. workforce for policymakers, businesses, and the public.
