Konczal has recently analyzed U.S. labor market updates, noting in the October 2026 jobs report that 165,000 jobs were added with unemployment at 4.14%. He also compared current hiring, quits, and job openings to prior years when unemployment was near 4.14% in a separate analysis on labor market conditions.
