And
@DiMartinoBooth - the remaining 56% was calculated in as if they performed like the 44%.
Furthermore, the run-rate was into March 2026 (for the year before) revised down to 16k per month. For 12 months.
So - all of the sudden the economy jumps higher while consumers are struggling…?
The 162k is extremely biased - and cannot be used - even as a slight indicator for the level. BLS own 90-%-Confidence interval stretches from 40k to 280k.
But media and analysts took the number as a stated fact 🤷♂️
