I'm not going to tell which table the data is in since that would ruin the fun of you having to read for yourself. But it is there and it is clearly labeled.

Right. Answer the challenge by providing data that you know no one is going to review. Make it more difficult for someone to question the detail of your simplistic stats.
You quite obviously already did the analysis. Why are you so reluctant to share more of it here? Other than the above, I mean.
Oh. Wait. Could it be because the job growth numbers are so dominated by a select few areas that they don't look...quite so reassuring?
There's a shit-ton of analysis of the BLS report available, from multiple sources. It takes almost nothing to find it:
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported non-farm job growth of 147,000 for June 2025
- The majority of those jobs were in State and Local government jobs, with 73,000
- 40,000 in eductation
- Health care 39,000
- Manufacturing
DECLINED by 7,000
Sooooo... if you're in local government, healthcare, or education...GOOD FOR YOU!
For everyone else, maybe not so much. Although the loss of jobs for foreign-born workers is probably good as it means that there are lots of great roofing and agricultural jobs available! Don't ferget yer sunscreen!
