Previous two months were also revised down. ETA- June revised down 27,000 but July revised up 6,000. June now negative 13,000.

Looks like manufacturing and government jobs continue to lose jobs

BLS employees need to be fired to get better numbers.

Yep. He could lower rates today, but it will not help immediately.

Shocker, he's way too behind the curve already. BLS will release a revision to the March 2024 to March 2025 numbers that will most likely remove around 750k jobs from that time period, similar to the 850k adjustment we saw for the March 2023 to March 2024 period last year.

You and I disagree on just about everything but one area where we do agree - the job market as a whole is mediocre at best.

Wonder what Too Late is gonna do since the reality of the fricking job market (and not the Biden BLS-BS) is the order of the day.

I don’t recall ever seeing the Fed chair blamed for unemployment in previous administrations.

What is it called when the economy is struggling, unemployment is up, and inflation is also up?

Stag...something.

Some of us knew this was coming over a year ago. It ain't rocket science, yet here we are (have been for awhile now, actually).

Something is going to have to break to get us out of it and nobody has the balls to do it. "Gibs me my cheap money!"

Volcker ain't walking through the door.

Impossible. Tariffs make manufacturing jobs. What’s happening?
