Summary: |
According to the UKG Workforce Activity Report for January 2025, the U.S. labor market remains on solid footing. While workforce activity declined -4.2% in January, the decrease can be attributed to a combination of predicted post-holiday reductions coupled with temporary disruptions created by severe weather and natural disasters. |

“Working activity remained steadily resilient through the first month of 2025, even with a more disruptive post-holiday season than usual. While B.L.S. yearly revisions in this month’s report are expected to incorporate decreases in payrolls in 2024, our UKG data firmly shows the U.S. labor force is still on solid ground.” |
