Holy crap, look at those downward revisions: the U.S. added 258,000 fewer jobs in May and June than the Labor Department first reported.

A downward revision of a quarter-million jobs!

The U.S. only added 19,000 jobs in May compared to an initial report of 144,000, and only 14,000 in June after an initial report of 147,000, according to the BLS. Those two paltry totals, plus a July jobs gain of 73,000, means the U.S. added just 106,000 jobs over the past three months.

106,000 jobs over three months?

Only the healthcare and social assistance sectors are showing much hiring.

Manufacturing is down 11,000 jobs.

But, well, sure, like republicans here like to say, they love Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile for his excellent governance.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
