Hiring Reports · compiled 30 September 2026
The numbers a hiring desk can check, and the questions under each one.
Six sections. Each chart names the federal release and the date. Weekly claims move every week. Unemployment, openings, and wages move when the agency that owns them posts a new release. The VA search answers VA only, split between the department that pays and the person who sits.
