Some subtle head count adjustments to help the stock market go higher.

As always - READ THE FINE PRINT

The impact of the revisions on employment in the March
1999 reference month is an upward adjustment of 258,000, or
about two-tenths of one percent of the total nonfarm
employment level. This percent adjustment is slightly
smaller than the average for the past decade. Estimates for
payroll employment for the post-benchmark period, April 1999
forward, also have been revised to incorporate the new
benchmark levels as well as revised seasonal adjustment and
bias adjustment factors.
