Joe and Kamala’s Bureau of Labor Statistic has just released the largest downward employment revision since 2009.
As it turns out, Joe and Kamala’s economy created over 800k fewer jobs than previous reported for the year ending in March of 2024.
Here’s more from CNBC:
The U.S. economy created 818,000 fewer jobs than originally reported in the 12-month period through March 2024, the Labor Department reported Wednesday.
As part of its preliminary annual benchmark revisions to the nonfarm payroll numbers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said the actual job growth was nearly 30% less than the initially reported 2.9 million from April 2023 through March of this year.
The revision to the total payrolls level of -0.5% is the largest since 2009. The numbers are routinely revised each month, but the BLS does a broader revision each year when it gets the results of the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages.
Wall Street had been waiting for the revisions numbers, with many economists expecting a sizeable reduction in the originally reported figures.
Even with the revisions, job creation during the period stood at more than 2 million, but the report could be seen as an indication that the labor market is not as strong as the previous BLS reporting had made it out to be. That in turn could provide further impetus for the Federal Reserve to start lowering interest rates.
“The labor market appears weaker than originally reported,” said Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial. “A deteriorating labor market will allow the Fed to highlight both sides of the dual mandate and investors should expect the Fed to prepare markets for a cut at the September meeting.”
I know every one of you are shocked that Joe and Kamala’s economy isn’t a strong as they were claiming. And remember, this is on top of the downward revisions they publish every month.
