🤣🤣🤣 Strongest #JobGrowth in More Than a Year? 🤔🤔🤔 That’s the headline. But it’s not the story. The story is in the walk‑back: what was trumpeted as 584,000 new jobs in 2025 has now been cut down to just 181,000 for the entire year. That’s not a revision. It’s an audit of fantasy. An #economy of 330 million people effectively spent a year standing still, averaging about 15,000 #jobs a month, the weakest hiring outside a recession since 2003. https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/january-jobs-report-unemployment-b703b0e3 #jobreport #jobsreport
