Speaking of jobs- I’m just a single mom from NY state with an almost 20 year old son, who has had a hell of a time keeping a job. And I mean any job. This is not due to my son lacking in any of the traits employers seek when hiring. This is due to the lack of actual available jobs.
In the past year alone, my son has applied to, and had been hired by four different companies. All of which insured he would get at least 25-30 hours per week of work.
Welp, all four companies lied. Same story, every company:
He’d start work, first week was training…and places seemed overstaffed, but training hours got him a full paycheck. Then, starting week two, hours were drastically cut. I mean, cut in half or more! With no explanation when he inquired, just a “ give it some time, we only have so many hours we can distribute between all employees”. However, every company continued to display their “help wanted” signs, and continued interviewing new hires. Why on earth would companies hire more employees then they had hours of work for?
Discouraged, and desperately needing wages, my son moved on to the next company- only to find out that their tactics were exactly the same as the company prior. Currently he was hired at chipotle. Annnnd, you got it! Same shit! Week one, training hours. Week two, hours cut down to ONE (6 hr) SHIFT. Week three, TWO shifts. And they get paid bi-weekly. My son attempted several times last week to contact the manager about the cut in hours. My son never got a return call. Went online to read employee reviews and was struck by a wall of absolutely horrific confessions that validated every single awful scenario I have described, and many more. It seems part of the system of systems of the employment sector has implemented some kind of bs that makes job attainment and security for young adults, near impossible to acquire. Luckily I’m a mother who bears integrity that I can pass on to my son, so we don’t give up trying. However, imagine the true implications of this?
As hiring signs are still displayed, people are still being hired, yet aren’t given any work. Making it damn hard to acquire any type of useful income. Being tethered to jobs that make false promises.
I’m sure this is meant to keep statistics heading up in numbers when it comes to employment opps. But in all actuality, these companies aren’t actually putting people to work. And they certainly aren’t paying them for doing nothing.
So this is a little confusing, they had the largest "downward" revision, yet most of the the new jobs were in this sector. That doesn't sound like much good job news to me. Linking as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Guess I skimmed over the article too fast, I tend to do that sometime as I get a lot of articles in my emails from Substack that I review daily to see what to link and not to link in my daily website posting.
Sometimes I try to read stuff pretty fast as it takes me between 4 -5 hours to do my website links every day as it is.
Sometimes I wonder why I do it and if anyone really cares. Last year, was the first year my website views hadn't increased in 10 years of doing this. Either people don't like what I link anymore, although I've always linked in four areas and nothing has really changed, or perhaps they don't like my leaning sometimes. I don't know.
Don't even know if the people I link on a regular basis even look at my website that much, as I don't have that many subscribers. In fact, I have more people subscribe to to my Substack than my website, and all it is basically is the Image For The Day from my website. Go figure that one with sometimes an article I linked from my website that day.!
Thank you for another objective analysis, Peter. You’re the best!
There have been multiple posts on Substack regarding the enormity of fraud throughout America, particularly Democrat-dominated cities. Much of this fraud is in the health care sector, such as home health care and daycares. As this becomes exposed, the government may have to make huge revisions to the data. I know I can count on you to jump on that!

You say healthcare had the largest downward revision, but yesterday Market Watch reported: ADP says U.S. businesses added 63,000 jobs in February. Labor market is sluggish even though hiring picked up. Most new jobs are concentrated in health care - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/adp-says-businesses-add-63-000-jobs-in-february-as-hiring-picks-up-93f1ab7c?mod=economic-report

Revisions are for the prior period — January.

The exposure of fraud alone could account for the differential in healthcare jobs numbers.
Possibly, but I'm not so sure.
If the fraud includes ghost employees, then yes, there could be revisions arising from that.
If the fraud does not involve ghost employees, then the revisions are less likely.
