I'm debating whether to continue posting BLS monthly reports, at least in the current format. See the 1,128,000 for December 2012? Now, look at December 2012, which had 1,123,400, a restatement of 4,600. Pinning down the change for the current month is an exercise in wishful thinking. Maybe round to the nearest 10,000?
Interestingly, the restated December 2012 figure is an increase of 12,400 over December 2011. Pretty damn impressive — huge raises for everyone!
