Original Note:
Tweet is missing important context. Manufacturing jobs on 2/20 right before lockdowns began was 12785K. Latest preliminary figure for 6/23 is 12989K. That’s 204K jobs added vs the 793K the tweet mentions. It’s important to consider how the pandemic influenced job creation. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES3000000001
