In reply to the discussion: U.S. created 501,000 fewer jobs as of March 2019 than previous reported [View all]progree
(10,892 posts)33. Here's the job series they are talking about (the famed and storied non-farm payroll job numbers
that are widely headlined by the media every month when it comes out (usually the first Friday of the month)
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001
anyway they haven't changed it (as indicated in the BLS announcement above, they aren't revising the series until February 2020) -- just to check, I compared the March and July numbers with what I had previously downloaded when the jobs reports came out (as for the March one, I looked at the May jobs report that includes March in Table B-1 after the usual 2 revisions they make).
