The revision to the total payrolls level of -0.5% is the largest since 2009.

At the sector level, the biggest downward revision came in professional and business services, where job growth was 358,000 less than initially reported.

So much for all that job creation the Dems are bragging about. Yep, this economy sucks, so much for Kamala boasting about Bidenomics

Just a little “correction.” Now let’s get back to talking about how “Trump lies.”

I wonder if this is part of Biden’s revenge. He cooked the books while he was running but now that he’s been shoved out, he’s going to go back to real statistics.

Simpler than that, they lie and manipulate but eventually the facts catch up.

I don’t care what they say...sounds like they are mixing stats...I have never heard of a 30% reduction in the measurement for an entire year. That is unheard of and too big to be a simple mistake.

A mere 30% off. They must be using DEI math

FJB’s con job on the American public fails. Now adjust the BS inflation numbers to actual, using retail food, heating fuel, and gas prices. I believe the number would be significantly north of 17%

If you add in all the previous revisions, the total change is close to 1.2 million jobs. 1.2 million jobs that never existed. And all the while the Democrats and media were celebrating the fantastic jobs report. I and others would comment it was all fake, and people would get upset and respond that the economy really was doing great because “look at all the jobs created”. It was b.s. from top to bottom.

Here is a Zerohedge article.

“US Jobs Revised Down By 818,000 In Election Year Shocker, Second Worst Revision In US History”

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-jobs-revised-down-818000-election-year-shocker-second-worst-revision-us-history

“The revision is mainly due to the highest-paying sectors: i.e., professional services -358k, leisure -150k, and manufacturing -115k. Not at all surprising: government was revised +1,000.”

I’ve said here before that the upcoming recession is going to hit middle management more than it will lower wage-earners. Therefore, unlike previous recessions there will be deep concerns about its effect on the economy.

“ Not at all surprising: government was revised +1,000.”

The Stalinist/Islamo-fascist party currently having their convention intends for ALL jobs to be government jobs. That’s their policy. They’re attempting to implement that.
