Bureau of Labor Statistics changes how it counts married couples.

[Duncan Grant]

1. We're being counted for the very first time. Anything else we should watch for?

Table A-9: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t09.htm

Table A-10: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t10.htm

I’ll be interested to see the categorization under “marital status” (and the numbers). We should revisit this in February. What more can the stats tell us?

By the way, is everyone aware that estimated unemployment numbers among transgender/non-binary people is two to three times higher than the overall workforce?
