Summary:

 

Ahead of Friday’s Employment Situation Report published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), UKG will discuss important and emerging trends for April in the labor market today at 10:00 a.m. ET, including:

 

 

  • The relative strength of shift work1 at U.S. businesses in April, which declined just 0.2%, beating historic April performance trends;
  • Sectors showing strength and weakness, such as healthcare (0.6%); manufacturing (-0.4%); retail, foodservice, and hospitality (0.7%); and services and distribution (-0.5%); and by size segment, including large and small businesses; and
  • Why April is poised to outperform consensus predictions and deliver a modest upside surprise for new job creation.

Register to attend the UKG labor market briefing.

 

Commentary:

Dave Gilbertson, vice president and labor economist, UKG

 

 

“The labor market continues to be resilient. April shift work displayed its strongest performance since 2019, prior to the pandemic. We’re relatively confident there will be a bump in new job creation this month compared with the past, based on the signals we are seeing in the high-frequency data.”
