ESTABLISHMENT DATA (B Tables)
Not upside down? Well that’s good.
HOUSEHOLD DATA (A Tables)
Y-o-Y comparison on this one
Note: For reasons I have never understood
BLS makes M-o-M comparisons easy in almost every category except this one. Here it presents the data differently and makes researchers mine for the details
I think you probably do understand.

When unemployment rises,
it tends to rise quite a bit and very quickly
Minor upticks in unemployment are a rarity.
That is one of the reasons people who, like myself think the economy is in trouble
often sound super doomy-gloomy.
Mentally missed that. In my head it has been at 3.6 or 3.7 for like 5 years lol

I am not sure what role COVID plays today.
I have added a green arrow in the chart below
The data beneath the green arrow is unusual.
It is much more likely the next major move will be in the same time-tested normal pattern we have seen many times.
The big spike.

Yes the 15% spike caused by the COVID shutdown was an anomaly.

State jobs aren’t going anywhere.
Call me crazy,
but I anticipate some pretty big changes in the jobs report
over the next few months.
