You mean that this is worse than what it really is? Pray tell where are the real numbers, and how do we hide the 2.3 million jobs lost in the last 2 months?
CON$ just can't stop themselves from lying!!!
Jobs increased by 1.023 million over the last two months from 140,614,000 to 141,637,000.
Actually, you're wrong. You're citing the change in EMPLOYMENT, from the Household Survey.
"JOBS" always refers to the Establishment Survey (non-farm payroll).
So JOBS went from 131,963,000 in November to 132,409,000 in Jan, an increase of 446,000
The Establishment survey is bigger, more accurate, but excludes agriculture, the self-employed, domestic servents, and unpaid family workers. Since it's jobs, not people, that are counted, multiple job holders are counted twice.
The Household Survey measures people and includes everyone (except military).
One more time...there are TWO surveys released in the same report:
The Current Employment Statistics Survey: JOBS
The Current Population Survey: Unemployment, Labor Force (including total employment).
You are right, of course that there was no loss of 2.3 million jobs.
