Are they ever revised higher? I'll wait...

  No wait required; click the link I gave and you'll see the answer is "yes, definitely". Anything over the zero mark on the Y axis is an upwards revision.

    I did, You do not know how to read a graph. That line through the middel is just showing the trend of jobs numbers. Still waiting. Just find me one article that says "Last months BLS jobs were revised higher".

      The title of the chart is "Nonfarm Payroll Employment Percent Revisions", with subheading indicating the statistic shown is the final number minus the first released number. The trendline shows the magnitude of the revisions decreasing over time; i.e. that the predictions get more accurate. For a concrete example, as you request: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/05/jobs-report-may-2026.html https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/05/jobs-report-may-2026.html > In addition to the strong jobs numbers for May, revisions for prior months also presented an even better picture. The April tally represented an upward revision of 64,000, while March got a boost up to 214,000, a gain of 29,000. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/business/economy/trump-jobs-data-revisions-bls.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/business/economy/trump-jo... > What has been unusual during the early months of Mr. Trump’s term is that the revisions have been consistently in the same direction: down. You do not know how to read a graph, it seems.
