Yah, didn't they revise 2025 job growth down by like 90%? No possible way to be off by that much without purposeful intention

    lol no, they did not

    And revision rates are generally downward because of how the survey process works.

    Here’s the history of revisions: https://www.bls.gov/sae/tables/revisions/

    That doesn't really explain why the revisions are generally downwards. It just explains that there's a preliminary estimate and then a final estimate and then a yearly comprehensive report. So why are you saying revisions are generally downwards because of the process? All I'm seeing is that when jobs are trending down, it's hard to estimate the amount of jobs because we're expecting a higher amount of jobs based on historical data, while the actual amount is trending down.
