.As for 451,000 new jobs created, the statistic is based on a Fox Business story using company announcements and industry reports. 9NEWS relied on government statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Based on reports from BLS, we reviewed job data from March and April 2025, since Trump has been president, and compared it to March and April 2024. 

In March and April this year, there were 362,000 new jobs. In the same time period last year, there were 475,000.

So **** g'ddammned stupid...

Is that before or after this revision:

Aug 21 (Reuters) - U.S. employers added far fewer jobs than originally reported in the year through March, the Labor Department said on Wednesday, underscoring the growing concerns the Federal Reserve has about the health of the labor market as it gears up to start cutting interest rates in September.
The department's estimate for total payroll employment for the period from April 2023 to March 2024 was lowered by 818,000. The revision represented a total downward change of about 0.5% and means that monthly job gains during the period averaged roughly 174,000, compared to the previously reported figure of 242,000.
