MAGAts, like their Orange Jesus, aren't readers much less statisticians. Arguments about typos and rounding numbers aside, a better comparison, IMO, is last year's numbers. Just eyeballing the numbers below, 137,000 jobs is only slightly higher than the lowest numbers from April 2023 to July 2024.Your reading comprehension seems to be at the second grade level.
ADP survey = only private company payroll jobs.
Federal BLS report = all jobs, including government jobs.
Apples and oranges.
137k jobs in the BLS report would have been considered near anemic during the Biden presidency
I was hoping to find a graph that gave averages for the past few years but so far, no luck.
