WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs from April 2023 through March this year than were originally reported, the government said Wednesday. The revised total adds to evidence that the job market has been steadily slowing and likely reinforces the Federal Reserve’s plan to start cutting interest rates soon. The Labor Department estimated that job growth averaged 174,000 a month in the year that ended in March — a drop of 68,000 a month from the 242,000 that were initially reported. The revisions released Wednesday were preliminary, with final numbers to be issued in February next year....

New data released on Wednesday pointed to a labor market that is weaker than initially thought: There were 818,000 fewer jobs added last year through early 2024, the Labor Department said. Why it matters: The revisions are the first step in an annual process that updates jobs data based on...

U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs than originally estimated

The U.S. Labor Department today announced a significant downward revision in nonfarm payroll growth, adjusting the figures by 818,000 jobs for the private sector but 1,000 more gov’t jobs for the 12-month period through March 2024. This revision indicates that the U.S. economy created substantially fewer jobs than initially reported during this timeframe. Such revisions are not uncommon as they reflect more comprehensive data that becomes available after initial estimates are released. These adjustments can impact economic assessments and policy decisions, as they provide a clearer picture of employment trends and labor market conditions.

These characteristics are closely linked to their zodiac sign temperament, so read on to see who is on the list!
