Original Note:
The nearly 16M (15.8M) jobs created total is missing important context. The July 2024 figure is 6.414M higher than the Feb. 2020 peak of employment before COVID-19 forced big shutdowns and layoffs. It’s more accurate to say nearly 10M jobs were recovered and over 6M created. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001
