By BLS 12/6/24
The BLS has reduced the number of US jobs reported from April 2023 to March 2024 by 818,000. When spread through the prior year, the average monthly job gain from April 2023 through March 2024 was 173,500 versus nearly 242,000, an analysis of BLS data shows. The downward adjustments were limited to the private sector, with nearly half in the professional and business services industry (revised down by 358,000, or 1.6%.) Other sectors showing large negative swings included the information industry (down 68,000, or 2.3%), leisure and hospitality (down 150,000, or 0.9%) and manufacturing (down 115,000, or -0.9%).
This report is preliminary and will be revised. This report counts the additions to payroll on ADP and others that offer payrolling services. These numbers will be compared with payroll tax receipts received in 30 days from all employers and revised. The estimates released by the Labor Department on Wednesday — after an uncharacteristic delay of more than half an hour — are preliminary and will not be finalized until February 2025.

US Job Cuts
Scores of Americans had to brush up
their CVs last year. In 2023, companies planned 721,677 job cuts, a 98% jump from 2022,
according to a new report from professional outplacement firm Challenger, Gray,
and Christmas. The number marks the highest annual total since 2020.Jan 4, 2024
The tech layoff
wave is still going strong in 2024. Following significant workforce reductions
in 2022 and 2023, this year has already seen 60,000 job cuts across 254
companies, according to independent layoffs tracker Layoffs.fyi.

Comments
This is the worst government report on the planet. Job numbers are not accurate and are repeatedly revised after the damage has been done. BLS needs AI to scan databases. Jobs added are estimates based on ADP data, but these are then revised by Quarterly Tax Filings.
The US Jobs deficit was 9.5 million in January 2021. This is the shortfall between jobs held in February 2020.
Over 16 million illegal immigrants entered the US since January 2021. I expect they will take government welfare in addition to jobs where they can be supervised by bi-lingual illegals in jobs that don’t require English and drug cartel jobs. Over 4 million legal immigrants arrive each year and 2 million US students graduate each year.

Comments
The 12,686,000 Jobs restored are off-set by the 10.640,000 Job Lay-offs to have 2.046.000 Jobs created in 2021 to 2023 minus 818,000 puts Jobs created at 1,228,000.
The US population is 335.9 million. The Labor Participation rate is 62.6%. The US Labor force is 209.9375 million.
The BLS Jobs Data is released monthly to report job starts but doesn’t report job lay-offs. It is quietly adjusted later and recorded unintelligibly in tables near the bottom of the report.
The average work week increased from 34.2 to 34.3 hours in October 2024. The Labor Participation rate remained 62.7 in September 2024. These are clues that US citizen employment is flat. The increase is likely due to job gains by illegal immigrants.

If I applied the data above on US layoffs to the US Jobs Report, the data shows jobs lost from 2021 to Feb 2024 were 6,944,000.

By 2021, most large companies required job seekers to apply via painfully complex company job websites. They hired mostly Black and LGBTQ applicants to comply with DEI edicts. White Conservatives were not welcome and many quit their Woke companies. Company website applications were too much hassle for lower paid workers who used to show up with a resume to get a job.
The 11 million jobs open reported in 2021, was a fishing trip for Engineers with specific skills in AI, EV, Cyber abatement and advanced chip design and manufacturing. At the same time these companies were in the process of deciding what new fad they would continue to fund. Apple was going to make EVs and dropped it. Bezos bought Twitter, found corruption and laid off 75% of his workforce. AI companies did find Engineers who had been studying AI since 2000. Engineers can now work from home as consultants.
As job postings fell from 2022 to 2023, non-engineering jobs were posted “in case they needed employees”, but applicants were ignored as companies continued to question future demand for their services. Applicants stopped applying through company websites and turned to finding their own jobs.
The 8 million jobs open reported in 2024 reflects the bubbles in job postings that arose from “ready, fire, aim” tactics used by big companies as they assessed what fads would succeed. Low EV sales reflected prohibitive costs, design flaws and limitations. EV mandates continue to be ignored.
Covid vaccine edicts by Woke Companies resulted in forced terminations from 2021 to 2023. Small “non-essential” businesses closed in Democrat States. On-line sales spiked as retail stores closed. Big Box grocery stores gained business as restaurant and fast-food sales declined. Covid taught consumers to eat at home. Work from home became popular and employees are hesitant to go back to the office. Big City office space is being converted to apartment units.
Open Borders from 2021 has resulted in the invasion of illegal migrants to big cities. Illegal gangs have added to the crime and employees are even more hesitant to go to the office.
10 million illegals or 65% of our 16 million are working in the US and have taken the jobs. The 6 million plus Illegal migrants are working for Drug Cartels, collecting welfare and awaiting work permits. Many are working illegally in the US at familiar companies processing animal parts, landscaping and working in on-line retail in warehouse jobs.
This 818,000 downward revision should prompt Congress to ensure that better methods are adopted by BLS for this market sensitive report, before everyone just decides to ignore all future US Job Reports.
The October 2024 Jobs Report indicates no job growth except for 95,000 jobs in Healthcare, Government and Construction. Job losses are included totaling 100,000 jobs in Manufacturing and Professional & Business Services. Real Job Growth is 5,000 jobs for October 2024.
