Abstract: Once a year, at the beginning of March, the national release of the monthly labor market data coincides with that of the state (California) and regional publication (Inland Empire). This is due to major annual data revisions for the January report on the sub-national level. The numbers released on March 8 by the Employment Development Department (EDD) are for January 2024, while the U.S. Department of Labor published the February 2024 data. The February 2024 report for the sub-national level will be released in the middle of March.
