You released a video arguing that we should, and I want to hear more about that.
I'm Megan Connors.
So as you noted, we've now had three solid months of jobs growth.
And yet the unemployment rate hasn't really budged over that time.
Can you explain what's going on there and what we know?
OK, so we've also we had a lot of questions and comments and kind of speculation about what type of jobs these might actually be.
So kind of fell into two buckets.
One group asking about like whether they're low or high paid jobs.
And we also had people speculating whether these might be second or third jobs that people are taking on in order to deal with the increased cost of living.
What can this report tell us in that regard and what can it not?
Are there other data sources, federal data sources that can illuminate any of this?
Okay, we also had a lot of people asking about revisions, why revisions occur, whether they should impact the way we think about these numbers or trust these numbers.
And I was hoping you could talk more about revisions.
And how do they, where does that information come from?
I love the Census Bureau.
I hope someone out there is appreciating this.
Okay, so we also had some people really concerned about why these numbers aren't matching perfectly our private sector data.
I think some of what you've already said has maybe illuminated that question, but if you could speak to it more directly, like ADP, I think their number was 122,000 for May.
Why should we not expect those numbers to perfectly match?
And that difference, 50,000, is within the margin of error anyway.
