Original Note:
The over 14M (14.3M) added jobs total is factually right but missing context. The Dec. 2023 figure is 4.9M higher than the Feb. 2020 peak of employment before COVID-19 forced shutdowns and layoffs. It’s more accurate to say 9.4M jobs have been recovered and 4.9M added. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001
