Bureau of Labor Statistics changes how it counts married couples.

Also beginning with data for January 2020, estimates of married persons will include those in opposite-sex and same-sex marriages. Prior to January 2020, these estimates include only those in opposite-sex marriages. This will affect marital status estimates in tables A-9 and A-10. Historical data will not be revised.

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?
