They already made a massive revision to 2024, and now they are making another massive revision. The BLS is saying that its original estimate was revised down by 60% over the next two years. Incidentally, both massive downward revisions occurred under a President that constantly attacks the prior President who was originally credited with the job growth.

Has there ever been an 800,000 job downward revision to two years earlier in the history of the BLS?

I don't know if you are a closet MAGA or why you are taking it this personally, but the numbers look like bulls***, and the market agrees with me on this.

You can keep calling me stupid and provide all the links you want, I know I am right, and I think you know I am right too.
