July to revised up to 73k.

Interesting. Twice the previous number. How do you miss 36,000 jobs?

Not unusual at all. The number is based on a survey of employers, and they don't all get their responses in on time. This month's +59,000 was about average for the net revision.

You have partisan Democrats in the agencies that track and interpret the numbers ?

You miss half the jobs when you are a democrat hack bureaucrat trying to help your party's candidate...just like the DOL did with Bush41.

Ask my brother-in-law. He's been looking for 25 years and hasn't found one.

Easy. You do what Missouri Gov. Holden's butt-boy in Jeff City did and count all the teachers on vacation in June and July as "unemployed".

That alone skewed to unemployed count by 59,000 jobs.
