Method
Workmerica reads the U.S. Department of Labor, Seasonal Jobs a few times a day and keeps the shape of every active filing: title, employer, place, positions, wage, start date and a link to the source. Each title is matched to one of 32 trades by keyword in the register's languages; a filing that matches none is not counted anywhere on this page. Positions are as stated on the job order. The month's figures are the state of the register on its last day; the current month updates a few times a day until then. No figure here is a projection, a survey answer or an industry estimate.
