In reply to the discussion: Zero Manufacturing Jobs Added. Zero. [View all]DallasNE
(7,991 posts)I see errors relative to "to/too", "there/their/they're", etc. all of the time but those kind of errors never mean anything because simple grammatical errors don't alter the point being made. This was a different kettle of fish because of the confusion it caused as the "typo's" as a group all pointed in the direction of last months data and why would anybody do that on the very day a new set of numbers came out. For some reason it hit me like a brick on first reading too. I even went to the BLS site later and couldn't be sure because the March number on manufacturing was only 2,000 and that number could have been part of the upward adjustment for March, meaning the original March number could easily have been zero. At that point, I just threw my hands in the air.
