Monthly employment figures move markets and make headlines, but few readers know what the numbers measure or how often they get revised.

Explainers that make official labor statistics understandable, and pieces on what they mean for pay and job security, fit us well.

• Jobs Reports Explained
• Wages and Inflation
• Unemployment Trends
• Industries Hiring
• Remote and Hybrid Work

Our readers are workers, employers and anyone trying to read the monthly jobs numbers. The articles we take explain one current development in labor market, use today's figures, and spell out what it changes for people's money, work, health or household.

• 700 to 1,200 words is the right length for us
• Unpublished and written for this page: labor market
• Current, checkable figures from official data, reporting or your professional work
• We check every draft for plagiarism (Copyscape or a similar tool)
• Send a near-final draft; our editing is light
• One link to your own website is allowed in the article body
• We do not accept affiliate links
• Charts or photos are optional; 1920×1280px or similar if you include them
• For a byline, include a one- or two-sentence bio and a headshot (optional)

Treat the reader as intelligent but not an economist. Above all, tell the reader what it means for their money, work, health or household, using current figures where they exist — this is reporting and explanation, not promotion.

Formats we publish: data breakdowns, explainers, myth vs fact, analysis pieces.
