Original Note:
The 13.5M jobs total is factually correct but missing useful context. The August 2023 figure is 4M higher than the February 2020 peak of employment before COVID-19 forced massive shutdowns and layoffs. It’s more accurate to say 9.5M jobs have been recovered and 4M created. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001
