Ok but was the expected loss 60k or 0? Makes a big difference.

  I believe it was expected to grow by 50k jobs?

  Well the data says: 2022, gained 678,000 jobs in February (Doesn't really count, global economy was emerging from Covid shutdowns.) 2023, gained 311,000 jobs in February 2024, gained 275,000 jobs in February 2025, gained 151,000 jobs in February (This seems to be the point of discontinuity with gains only about half of what were typically expected.) 2026, lost the 92,000 we're talking about. (Obviously, we had expected a gain.)

  We live in an infinite growth economy mindset - it's always expected to grow

  A loss wasn't expected at all.
