Listen Later

What’s really going on in the job market, and can we even trust the headlines? 

 

In this episode of Living Richly with Curo, Anne and Atricia break down how unemployment numbers are calculated, why the recent 911,000 job revision matters, and what it actually says about the economy right now.

 

Here’s what we cover 👇

 

🔄 Why BLS jobs data often gets revised months later

🏡 The difference between the household and establishment surveys

🧮 How unemployment is calculated—and what it leaves out

📋 What “underemployed” means and why it’s not reflected in job numbers

🧾 How data collection may be outdated in today’s economy

📣 Why this matters for understanding economic trends—not just the news

 

This is a great explainer if you’ve ever wondered where the job numbers come from, how to interpret them, or what they don’t tell us. Stay informed with smart, jargon-free insights that help you see through the noise.

 

Live richly!
