Numerous articles popping up that after adjustments released last week, the US only gained 181,000 jobs last year. All of course say "ebil Trump killing the economy", "orange man lied, cause the numbers were over half a million jobs, now it's no growth at all" "We grew over a million jobs in 2024, so orange man bad" ect.
Why were the numbers adjusted? I know it happens frequently, we saw Biden make claims of job growth that were then adjusted down quietly later to little or none, but I don't see why big claims are made by anyone, and then get adjusted down. Yes, some claims are expected job growth which doesn't always go as expected, but this seems like a reoccurring issue which just feeds confusion and chaos to everyone.
The BLS report Some "the sky fell last year" reports, some noting that January showed several big jumps in employment, begrudgingly.
