So this suggests that January and February are the best months when it comes to job creation numbers.
I really want to maintain my trust in the BLS and want to see if their are revisions to the 130k down the road.

Revision in the numbers come March or April ?

Yeah, the downward revisions after the fact may be the closest to real, accurate numbers coming out from these lying clowns. The thought is, who cares or remembers what the stats were two or three months ago? The Dear Leader is only concerned about the here and now. What happened in the past, even the recent past, is Biden's fault.

The United States Attorney General briefing Congress today on the economy.

Because American businesses are making money, we should overlook anything and everything Trump does or may have done. Brilliant.

Yes, honey, I did cheat on you with the babysitter and I lost all our saving gambling, but our neighbor just got a big promotion at work. That’s what we should be focused on!

Who actually falls for this bull shit (rhetorical question)?

Comparing Jan 2025 through Jan 2026

Not an economist here, but ... I thought I heard at some point that in a good economy, hiring SHOULD be in the neighborhood of 200,000 jobs per month to support new entrants into the job market and to replace those retiring. 30,000 per month sounds like somebody's not getting the job done. Or perhaps somebody's (ICE? CBP?) getting a bad job done way too well.
