Revelio Public Labor Statistics Reports 123.7k US Jobs Gained in May

Published

on

NEW YORK, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Revelio Labs today released its May edition of Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS), a monthly data release delivering transparent and reliable insights into the U.S. labor market. The latest data indicates a gain of 123,700 jobs in May, an increase in comparison to the previous month, and in line with expectations.

The hiring rate remained steady in May, while attrition declined, contributing to positive job growth across the US economy. Labor demand was largely unchanged, with active job postings edging down 0.3% from April. Salaries from new job postings also declined in May, falling 0.4% month over month and continuing the recent downward trend.

Employment gains were driven by Public Administration, Health Care and Social Assistance, and Professional and Business Services. Within these sectors, the largest increases came from the US Government and the State of California in Public Administration, and Adventist Health System and HCA Healthcare in Health Care and Social Assistance. Meanwhile, Retail and Leisure and Hospitality continued to experience notable employment declines, led by losses at Starbucks and Inspire Brands (e.g., Dunkin’) in the Leisure and Hospitality sector.

“The headline number is encouraging: the economy continues to add jobs at a healthy pace. But beneath the surface, the labor market remains uneven. A relatively small number of sectors are driving most employment growth, while Retail and Leisure and Hospitality continue to lose ground. The labor market remains resilient, but it is not firing on all cylinders,” said Chief Economist Lisa Simon.

RPLS is a freely available macroeconomic labor market set of statistics built from 100+ million U.S. profiles to provide a clear view of workforce dynamics. It follows a format similar to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), tracking employment levels, wages, and job transitions at a scale that traditional surveys cannot, offering a continuous picture of the labor market. RPLS intends to close the growing information gap and deliver unbiased data on the U.S. workforce for policymakers, businesses, and the public.

National Recognition from Nurse.com and Energage Highlights Exceptional Employee Experience

Production is Changed Forever — Now What?

Colby2: Full AI Commercial for BlockStrong including VO, Music, Picture

ATLANTA, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A new cinematic brand TV spot from Atlanta-based production company Colby2 compresses decades into seconds—following a young couple as they move into their first home, raise children, grow older, and ultimately gather with generations of family beneath the same roof. Even the family dog ages alongside them, turning the home itself into a symbol of permanence, memory, and resilience.

What makes the project unusual is not simply the emotional storytelling, but the production process behind it.

The entire commercial was created through a directed AI production workflow—marking the first fully AI-produced commercial in more than 30 years of filmmaking for director Steve Colby.

Rather than relying on traditional production methods—casting multiple age-specific actors, coordinating complex shoots, and building numerous sets—the film was crafted using AI-generated visuals, music, and voiceover, guided by a cinematic directing process designed to preserve emotional continuity and creative intent.

“This wasn’t about replacing production—it was about making possible a story that otherwise would have been financially or practically out of reach,” said Colby. “We were able to tell a decades-long story with a level of continuity and scale that would have been extremely difficult through conventional production.”

For Colby, who has spent decades working alongside crews he considers close friends, the shift was both creatively exciting and personally complicated.

“I’d still rather be on set with a crew, solving problems together through a long day in the trenches,” Colby said. “There is a human energy and camaraderie to traditional production that AI can’t replace. But we are a service business, and our responsibility is to provide the best possible solution for the client. In this case, AI was the right tool.”

The AI-driven workflow also changed the creative process itself.

Executive Producer Tina Colby states “In traditional production, you’re often locked into decisions made weeks earlier – your schedule, locations, and budget, with AI, if something sparked creatively, we could explore it immediately without adding another shoot day or dramatically increasing costs.”

That flexibility allowed the team to expand scenes, refine emotional moments, and explore multiple storytelling directions in real time.

But the veteran filmmaker, Colby is also candid about the anxiety many filmmakers feel toward emerging AI tools—an anxiety he says he shares himself.

“Anyone who has spent a life in this business understands the fear surrounding these tools,” he said. “I understand it because I feel it too. But pretending this technology isn’t here, or trying to fight against its existence, isn’t realistic. Nothing in human history that has been invented has ever been un-invented.”

Rather than resisting the shift entirely, he believes the industry must learn how to adapt while preserving the humanity that gives filmmaking its emotional power.

“My hope is that AI becomes a tool that helps filmmakers more than it displaces them,” he said. “Technology can generate images, but it still takes human experience, taste, empathy, and storytelling instinct to create something meaningful.”

While the approach significantly reduced production cost and complexity, the focus remained firmly on the story itself—delivering an emotionally resonant piece centered on the idea that the structures we build are designed to last for generations.

For Colby, the project represents more than a single commercial. It reflects a broader turning point for the creative industry.

“The truth is, AI is going to change this industry as much as anything ever has,” said Colby. “The challenge now is figuring out how we keep the humanity in the work while embracing the tools that are clearly here to stay.”

Tech-Access Canada Welcomes Canada’s AI Strategy and Focus on Helping Businesses Adopt AI

Published

By

OTTAWA, ON, June 4, 2026 /CNW/ – Tech-Access Canada welcomes the Government of Canada’s new national artificial intelligence strategy, AI for All, and its focus on helping Canadian businesses, workers, and students harness the benefits of AI to strengthen productivity, competitiveness, and economic growth.

Canada has earned a global reputation for excellence in artificial intelligence research. The next challenge is ensuring that businesses across all sectors of the economy have the support they need to adopt and apply AI technologies in practical ways that improve operations, create new opportunities, and enhance competitiveness.

The strategy’s emphasis on AI adoption among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), workforce development, and hands-on learning opportunities for students reflects areas where Canada’s colleges, cégeps, and Technology Access Centres (TACs) are already making a meaningful contribution.

Across Canada, Technology Access Centres help thousands of businesses each year evaluate, test, validate, and implement emerging technologies. In the AI space, TACs have supported companies across sectors such as manufacturing, forestry, energy, agriculture, and environmental services in applying artificial intelligence to real-world challenges, including predictive maintenance, process optimization, quality control, resource management, and operational decision-making.

Examples include helping manufacturers improve production efficiency through AI-enabled process optimization and supporting natural resource companies with advanced analytics and machine learning tools that improve monitoring, forecasting, and operational performance.

The strategy’s commitment to AI literacy, skills development, and student work-integrated learning opportunities is also particularly encouraging. Every year, Technology Access Centres provide over 2,000 students with hands-on experience working alongside Canadian companies on applied R&D and technology adoption projects, helping them develop the practical skills needed to succeed in an increasingly AI-enabled economy.

“Canada has been a global leader in AI research for decades. The next challenge is helping more Canadian businesses, workers, and students put AI to work solving real-world problems,” said Ken Doyle, Executive Director of Tech-Access Canada.

“We are encouraged to see the strategy’s strong emphasis on the adoption of AI, workforce development, and ensuring that the benefits of AI reach businesses and communities across the country. Technology Access Centres have long operated at the intersection of innovation, talent development, and industry collaboration, helping SMEs adopt emerging technologies while providing students with valuable hands-on experience. As Canada works to increase AI adoption across the economy, colleges, cégeps, and their Technology Access Centres are well positioned to help translate that ambition into practical outcomes.”

An independent evaluation of the federal College and Community Innovation Program recently concluded that Technology Access Centres contribute to measurable increases in revenue and employment among the small businesses they support, while providing students with applied learning opportunities that improve career outcomes.

Tech-Access Canada looks forward to working with governments, industry partners, post-secondary institutions, and innovation organizations across the country to help ensure the successful implementation of Canada’s AI strategy and the broad adoption of AI technologies that strengthen Canadian productivity and prosperity.

About Tech-Access Canada

Tech-Access Canada is the national network of 70 Technology Access Centres located at colleges and cégeps across the country. Together, they provide Canadian companies with access to objective applied R&D expertise, specialized equipment, prototyping, technology validation, and innovation support. Each year, the network works with more than 6,000 businesses and organizations, helping accelerate innovation, commercialisation, and technology adoption.
