I was reading the wrong column in the data. Hate to rub it in, but except for the retraction, you show amazing aptitude as a NYT columnist, or Global Warming Expert!

The BLS numbers are malarky. But so many want to cheer! And as long as there are truckloads of fiat and "pape account" money created from that clapping and cheering -- and it is -- things seem honky-dory.
Yet the numbers are fantasy.

you show amazing aptitude as a NYT columnistOuch! Well, OK, I deserved that.
Now that I have my head out of my Clymer, the real numbers are (change from last month):
Manufacturing = +37,000
Construction = +32,000
Total Goods-Producing = +72,000
Service Providing = +176,000
Government (subcategory of Service) = -27,000
