Original Note:
The 13.4M jobs total is factually correct but is misleading. The July 2023 figure is ~4M higher than the February 2020 peak of employment before COVID-19 forced massive layoffs. It’s more accurate to say ~9.4 jobs have been recovered and ~4M have been created. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001 https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/ceshighlights.pdf
