employment declines, but unemployment rate also declined? Odd. Maybe some illegals are going back home.

Don’t worry, they’ll focus on the billions more earned by Big Oil (They didn’t notice the prices all year). /s
Greenies to come after that in 5, 4, 3, 2...

AP has dug through the numbers and discovered that payrolls are down fractionally - so guess what their lead is?

Today’s report included a revision to the December number. It was revised upward to 82,000 new jobs from it’s original estimate of 18,000. So we added 64,000 more jobs during December than had been initially reported. After January’s 17,000 decline reported today, we’re still 47,000 jobs higher than what we thought was the situation yesterday.

Probably because jobs created in previous months were finally filled in January? Just my guess

Dealing with two separate surveys. One survey reviews payroll data at businessses. The other surveys households as to their employment status. They generally move together, but at inflection points when the economy is utrning we often contradictory numbers.

Over the last 4 years, nonfarm total employment has grown by 170,000 per month on average. So relative to the past 4 years, this is showing a slowdown.
