Much obliged. I can't resolve that with their infamous "Birth-Death Model" which shows net gains in Financial Services for 11 of the 12 months of 2007, for a total of 115,000 jobs.
I was just going from memory and apparently conflated the total jobs from the birth-death model and those just in financial services.
That said, I still say that the existence of any positive employment number via any method for Financial Services in 2007 renders their methodology very suspicious.
