Instead, the Bureau of Labour Statistics has dropped a puzzler of an employment report in our laps?one which points in
many directions but not, decidedly, toward strong job growth. In the month of January, total nonfarm employment grew
by a very disappointing 39,000 jobs. This was not at all what forecasters were expecting. Earlier this week, an ADP
report indicated that private sector employment rose by 187,000 in January; the BLS pegged the figure at just 50,000.
There were some compensating shifts.
どのように多くの従業員がいIB、持っている December's employment gain was revised upward from 103,000 to 121,000.
November's employment rise, which was originally reported at 39,000, has been revised to a total gain of 93,000.

But there is bad news, as well. The BLS included its annual revision of the previous year's data in this report, and while
job growth over the year looks stronger than before, the level of employment looks worse. In March of last year,
411,000 fewer Americans were working than originally reported.

April through October, 483,000 fewer Americans were on the job in December than was originally believed to be the
case. For now, the economy remains 7.7m jobs short of its previous employment peak.

So for another month, Americans will wait, frustrated and uncertain, to see when growth will once again mean new
employment opportunities.
