From Goldman Sachs at present:
The BLS’s preliminary benchmark estimate for the revision to payroll progress between April 2023 and March 2024 is -818k, or -68k jobs/month, in keeping with our expectation of a 600k-1mn downward revision. As now we have famous final week, we predict that at present’s downward revision to payroll progress exaggerates the diploma to which job progress has been overstated by about 500k, each as a result of the QCEW possible excludes many unauthorized immigrants who aren’t within the unemployment insurance coverage system however have been appropriately picked up in payrolls initially, and since the QCEW itself has tended to be revised up in recent times. Consequently, we predict the true downward revision ought to be about 300k or 25k monthly, which might suggest that month-to-month job progress over this era was nearer to 215-220k than the initially reported 242k, however not as little as the 174k tempo implied by the revisions.
