Key drivers
- Recent hires rate has been pinned near 3.3 percent
- May 2026 BLS release described hires as unchanged at 5.2 million and 3.3 percent
- Low labor-market churn keeps the persistence prior strong
- Two-month forecast horizon allows June and July volatility but not a regime-break assumption
- First-print rounded-to-one-decimal target makes 3.3 the modal bin

- source
- ALFRED/FRED first-print vintage for BLS JOLTS hires rate series JTSHIR
