According to the WSJ today:
” Private Sector Adds 67,000 Jobs
U.S. Economy Lost 54,000 Jobs in August; Unemployment Rate Rises to 9.6%”
…….. So did the U.S. gain jobs, or lose jobs? I’m confused… how did we gain jobs when we acutually lost 54,000 jobs??

“U.S. Private Sector Adds 67,000 Jobs”


The net job loss was 54,000, but there were about 117,000 census workers that were laid off last month. So although there was a net loss of jobs, it was considered good news because the private sector added 67,000 jobs. Private sector jobs are “real” jobs that contribute to economic growth, unlike government jobs.
