San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 05, 2013
Employment increased by 177,000 net jobs from May to June 2013 according to the May 2013 Bright Employment Report, which is produced by Bright Media Corporation and Bright.com. The report is derived from one of the nation’s largest aggregations of job postings and resumes. This data is supplemented with government, financial, real estate, and other data sources, in order to measure changes in nonfarm private employment through a novel method utilizing inter-temporal substitution, regression, and labor supply.
Two other reports issued by Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and Automatic Data Inc. (ADP) also include monthly estimates of net jobs created. For their monthly Current Population Survey (CPS; household survey), which derives their net non-farm jobs created estimate, BLS collects data each month from the payroll records of a sample of approximately 145,000 nonagricultural business establishments. ADP also uses payroll data, however their estimate focuses on the payrolls of private businesses in their system. Thus, these three metrics from Bright, BLS, and ADP each examine unique aspects of the labor market.
This month’s estimate of 177,000 net jobs created comes on the heels of last month’s report by the BLS indicating that 165,000 jobs were created in April, compared to 171,000 estimated by Bright. Rather than slipping further, job creation appears to have recovered nearer the levels seen around the beginning of the 2013.
