Original Note:
The 14M jobs total is factually correct but missing important context. The October 2023 figure is 4.5M higher than the February 2020 peak of employment before COVID-19 forced shutdowns and massive layoffs. It’s more accurate to say 9.5M jobs are recovered and 4.5M are new. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001
