ADP: 122,000 jobs added in May

[Gabe Lackmann]

Democrats certainly have a history of painting good as bad if the good is produced by patriotic American conservativism.

That's right. That's politics. Shoot the statistician till you find one that does the math 'correctly'.

 

[Independent thinker]

Well, the expectations were dismal but the numbers came in mediocre, so the excitement is palpable.

About doubled the expectations.

 

[Independent thinker]

Yea, Biden's numbers were always revised down, Trumps are always QUIETLY revised upwards. Let's see where they go.

They don't have an answer for that, do they?

 

[Greenbeard]

About doubled the expectations.

A testament to how weak expectations were.

 

[Independent thinker]

Oh really? Interesting. It probably helps Trump put a Project 2025 and Heritage Foundation chief in charge of BLS.

But but but but but, you just said the next revision would be down.

Lotta temp stuff for restaurants and bars at summer tourist spots, most of the rest in healthcare.

Nothing really transformational or earth-shattering here.

Other than, once again, putting the lie to your cult's chant that the economy is in tatters under Trump.

Where did I say it will be revised down?

I am sure you will be posting the revision in three weeks....!!!!!!!

Sorry Gabe, it was your cult that was cooking the books at BLS

‘Benchmark revision’ puts spotlight on Biden’s legacy, BLS

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its annual “benchmark revision” this week, effectively erasing 911,000 jobs thought to have been added between March 2024 and March 2025. We looked at what this means for Joe Biden’s economic legacy and the BLS itself.

It's the same shit.
It's Vaudevillian BS.
How are they on Israel?
How are they on bailouts?
How are they on police state?
How are they on privacy? The Fourth Amendment?

Same shit. SAME SHIT.

Where did I say it will be revised down?

Jobs numbers were revised downward after the initial erroneous report during the Biden administration.

• A revision to historical job creation data showed the economy lost 48,000 jobs in January 2025 instead of gaining 111,000, wrecking former President Joe Biden's formerly perfect record on job creation.

Got it. You're one of the ones that is above it all an believes there is no difference between the parties. Interesting world in which you live.

Its the third great jobs report in 3 months in the face of the war and high gas costs. Thats a strong economy and they are mostly private jonbs not government jobs

And? Pent up demand after 13 or 14 months of essentially no growth is totally expected. In fact, I would have expected over 200K for every report.

 

[Crepitus]

Do either democrats or republicans play down jobs growth numbers when they come out?

Of course they do.

It is, sad to say. I'd much rather it be a good economy no matter who is in office.

Bullshit. 85K predicted, 172,000 created

In May, employment in local government rose by 55,000, largely reflecting a gain in local
government, excluding education (+44,000).

This morning's report by the Bureau includes the public sector as well while ADP's sticks purely to non-government employment. Sort of matches well with ADP's report of earlier this week. Although I'm not sure how to interpret the "excluding education (+44,000)" and whether it's part of that 55,000 increase. It makes me happier to assume so.

I find it interesting to see the numbers by job sector:

Your point? Was it a good number, or a bad number?
Or, you just playing politics as usual?

It was a mediocre number. But it benefits from the diminished expectations in this shit economy.
