Probably what they are doing is lumping in 2025 job gains into January of this year to pad the numbers. Hence the revision down of 2025 numbers. ABC article said total for last year was 181000 job down from initial count of 584000 jobs. They probably knew that number was going to look like shit regardless, so they just made the 181000 number lower than what it actually was and “moved” those job gains to Jan 2026.
