Subject: Re: US Jobs Report - revised down 818,000
AlphaWolf: These revisions are an annual practice by the BLS, although I don’t recall one this large...

Indeed.

For example, in 2019 (pre-pandemic):

New revised numbers this week from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed job-creation estimates had been off by about 20 percent. The data showed that about 2 million jobs were created between April 2018 and March 2019. That is 500,000 fewer jobs than the estimates had originally shown.

Gross Domestic Product numbers were also revised down earlier in 2019 for 2018, from 3% to 2.5%.

So, yeah, these numbers are routinely adjusted, sometimes up, sometimes down.

But if you think the Biden revisions will mean anything to the average American and the election, good luck with that, Jack!
