About Labor Pulse

The mission, research principles, and stewardship behind Labor Pulse.

Mission

Labor Pulse exists to make U.S. labor market evidence easier to examine, cite, and use in policy work. It brings source-backed indicators, transparent derived measures, and focused analysis into one public workspace.

What Labor Pulse publishes

Core indicators

National measures of employment, unemployment, participation, earnings, labor demand, and related conditions.

Composite measures

Calculated signals that bring related source series together with visible inputs and interpretation guidance.

Research Monitor

Profiles and updates from recurring releases and research programs that add context to the dashboard.

Special analyses

Longer studies of questions that require more than a single indicator, including definitions, trends, and limits.

Research exports

Downloadable charts and data files that retain source, date, and measure information.

Research practice

Research principles

  • Each displayed measure links to its source.
  • Derived measures identify their inputs and limits.
  • Unsupported comparisons are omitted rather than estimated.
  • Source dates and refresh status remain visible.

Stewardship

Labor Pulse is a public-interest initiative developed and maintained by Dialed Intelligence LLC. Dialed Intelligence builds analytical tools, economic data systems, and decision-support models for organizations working through complex questions.

This project applies that work to a public need: clear and traceable labor market evidence.

Collaboration

Research collaboration

We welcome conversations with researchers and organizations working on labor market analysis, economic modeling, program assessment, and public data tools.
