10. It's 48k/month average job creation during the seven tRump months February thru August

The latest payroll job numbers don't include the 911k downward revision of job creation during the April 2024 thru March 2025 that was announced September 9. This averages out to 75.9k per month.

Two of the months in this period are tRump months: February and March.

If February and March are reduced by 75.9k each, then one has for the tRump months:

FebMarApr MayJunJul Aug
26 44 158 19 -13 79 22 = 335k = 47.9k/month average job growth in the tRump months


(without the two 75.9k reductions, it's 69.6k/month average job growth in the tRump months)

Any benchmark revisions to April 2025 and beyond are likely to be downward, reducing the tRump average further
