The Top Ten Job Streaks: Current Streak is in 5th Place

For fun:

Through August 2024, the employment report indicated positive job growth for 44 consecutive months, putting the current streak in 5th place of the longest job streaks in US history (since 1939).  

It appears this streak will survive the annual benchmark revision (that will revise down job growth).

Trivia: The only presidential term that saw job growth every month was President Obama's 2nd term. 

Although job growth has slowed recently, we might see job growth every month during the current term.
