Methodology
BAM! tracks and finds the evidence across government reports, employer demand, hiring activity, business formation, technology trends, and alternative data sources to reveal what the data really means.
The labor market most people talk about comes from a series of government reports. Reports designed long ago in a world far, far away from the one we live in today. Even Kevin Warsh, Chair of the Federal Reserve, recently created a task force to explore new ways to gather more useful economic data. In a roundabout way, that’s an acknowledgment that many of the traditional reports policymakers rely on no longer tell the complete story. We wholeheartedly agree.

How we turn thousands of data points into one clear picture.
We don’t follow one report. We follow the story.
BAM! pulls from a wide range of government data, employer data, ATS data, job marketplaces, alternative signals, AI & technology, and behavioral data.
We read it. We assemble it. We analyze it. Then we score it.
All of that comes together in the Core BAM! Score and eight specialized measures that reveal what’s really happening in the labor market.
It’s how we turn thousands of data points into one clear picture.
