Original Note:
The 16M (16.1M) jobs created total is missing important context. The September 2024 figure is 6.8M higher than the Feb. 2020 peak of employment before COVID-19 forced massive shutdowns and layoffs. It’s more accurate to say about 9.3M jobs were recovered and 6.8M created. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001
