Job growth plummets to lowest rate in 15 years
In a recent government meeting, officials highlighted significant revisions in job growth statistics reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to the updated figures, actual job growth from March 2023 to March 2024 was approximately 30 percent lower than previously reported, translating to a loss of about 818,000 jobs. This adjustment, marking the largest revision in 15 years, indicates a decrease of roughly 68,000 jobs per month during the specified period. The implications of this revision are substantial, as it accounts for about half a percent of all jobs in the United States, raising concerns about the accuracy of employment data and its impact on economic policy.
