Data Revisions Shows Monthly Survey Again Overstating Job Growth December 16, 2024
Since mid-2022, the state's monthly jobs survey has tended to overestimate actual employment growth.

Specifically, the most recent match to administrative records shows the survey overestimated job creation from March through June this year by roughly 150,000 jobs (preliminary survey gain of 68,000 relative to matched net loss of 78,000 jobs).
