I love it - “unchanged” relative to earlier numbers that were “changed”, “changed” upwards” if the previous numbers had been “unchanged”!

It’s nice to know that the Bureau of Labor Statistics has started hiring those guys who do the three-card monte bit on Lexington Avenue!

They had to emphasize ‘unchanged’ so that they can revise up in two weeks, meaning today’s numbers are probably actually a bit higher than last week’s numbers.

You should try the new Bureau of Labor Statistics diet. You can eat double food stamps (ask Leteesha how) and always lose weight every week! The seasonal adjustment tables are wonderful around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the first of the month.
