"Now for this report, nov-dec growth was revised upward by 32k, oct-nov was revised downward by 49k, but they've gone back and revised the september and october job numbers *downward* from their supposed final numbers of last month.

I get a different result using my data source of Dow Jones Newswires.

The employment report issued today revised the Dec jobs number upward +32k and revised the Nov jobs number upward +49k. The total revision upward in today's report for Nov-Dec was +81k. I see nothing about downward revisions in today's report

Do you have a link for your data source?

Sorry - I corrected in a later post - oct-nov growth was revised upward by 49k, not downward... but if you compare numbers in table b-1 of last month's report with this month's report you'll see the significant downward revision I'm referring to (a change of 368,000)...
