Hello, Bob, and shavu'a tov. You are reading the curves correctly.
The decrease of 683K employed came in the last month. It's the last leg downward in the blue curve, amounting to 0.683 million people, while the number of jobs on the red curve is increasing. I have read that the blue curve, the household survey, is considered more reliable because it informs us of actual workers' experiences.
Well the gov supported illegal hordes sure aren't in the job market.
It looks like both curves are growing, though the blue curve is growing more slowly. Am I reading that right?
Also, I don't see the 683 thousand fewer people working. Where is that number? Fewer than 2020? Fewer than what?
