The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release new population control data delayed by the 43-day government shutdown last year. Gabriel Egelhof, chief U.S. economist at Law-Bank, stated that the latest data from the Census Bureau shows that the Bureau of Labor Statistics has been overestimating population growth since the end of 2024. It is expected that in the adjusted January data, the population aged 16 and older will be revised down by about 590,000, and the labor force population will be revised down by about 370,000. Similar adjustments will also be made to the employment numbers in the household survey. Using a smoothed experimental series of population controls and immigration data from the past, combined with the latest census data, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the U.S. labor force will only grow by 900,000 in 2025 and overall labor force growth in 2026 is expected to be significantly below 500,000. The population control adjustments will only affect the household survey data in January. This means that the month-to-month data for indicators such as household employment, unemployment, and labor force will not be directly comparable. Bank of America Securities economist Mishra noted that the good news is that key ratios (unemployment rate and labor force participation rate) are typically only minimally affected. Last year's population control adjustments increased both of these ratios by 0.1 percentage points, and this year the risk is that new control adjustments may cause a slight decrease in these ratios.
