About Nonfarm Payrolls

What it measures

Total Nonfarm Payrolls (FRED series PAYEMS) counts the number of paid employees on the payrolls of US businesses and government agencies, excluding farm workers, the self-employed, and private household staff. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes it monthly from the Current Employment Statistics survey of roughly hundreds of thousands of establishments.

Why it matters

Payrolls headline the monthly jobs report, the single most market-moving scheduled US data release. Employment growth drives income, spending, and tax revenue, and the Federal Reserve reads it as one half of its dual mandate. Sustained payroll weakness is central to recession dating, while overheated job growth can reinforce inflation concerns.

How to read it

Focus on the monthly change and its three-month average rather than the level, and expect meaningful revisions to the prior two months in every release. Job gains roughly matching labor force growth keep unemployment stable; persistently smaller gains signal softening. Annual benchmark revisions can restate an entire year, so apparent trends occasionally shift after the fact.
