Strongest #JobGrowth in More Than a Year? 
That’s the headline. But it’s not the story.
The story is in the walk‑back: what was trumpeted as 584,000 new jobs in 2025 has now been cut down to just 181,000 for the entire year.
That’s not a revision. It’s an audit of fantasy.
An #economy of 330 million people effectively spent a year standing still, averaging about 15,000 #jobs a month, the weakest hiring outside a recession since 2003.
