Probably not the greatest solution, but I did this by just putting a label at the bottom of my table and if the rows = 0 then I assign it some text. Pretty easy, and achieves what you are trying to do with a few lines of code.

I have two sections in my table (jobs and schools)

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

    if (jobs.count == 0 && schools.count == 0) {
        emptyLbl.text = "No jobs or schools"
    } else {
        emptyLbl.text = ""
    }
