最新报道:U.S. jobs data is under scrutiny as traditional metrics fail to account for surging entrepreneurship and side gigs, distorting economic assessments. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' reliance on W-2 payroll data misses 6.48% new business growth in early 2025 and freelance work creating non-traditional jobs. AI tools are fueling low-cost self-employment, with 51% of Americans now having side hustles—rising to 72% among Gen Z. Declining BLS survey response rates post-pandemic raise reliability concerns amid political pressures. Experts recommend incorporating new business registrations and freelance platform data to better reflect modern labor market dynamics.
