Monthly Business Survey Was Overestimating Job Gains, But Now Appears to Be Tracking Closely. Across 2022 and 2023, the official monthly jobs survey of businesses had routinely overestimated job growth in the state. Once preliminary survey figures were finalized using comprehensive payroll records, the figures were revised downward by an average of 30,000 jobs each month. Recent incoming data suggests that the monthly business survey now more closely tracks actual job growth. Between September 2023 and March 2024 the revisions to jobs were slightly positive. In light of this update, we will no longer publish our hybrid measure (the average of the monthly business survey and household survey that had more closely tracked actual job growth) and instead return to highlighting the state's main jobs survey.
