It also reflected changes in statistical methods that analysts said could muddy interpretations of the report. In an annual "benchmark revision," the department updated its payrolls data from April 2001 onward. The department also changed the way it calculates payroll data and it expanded the number of job categories. The results showed that job losses this year weren't nearly as steep as previously thought. The Labor Department said businesses cut 131,000 jobs since the beginning of the year, compared with a previous estimate of more than a half million. / jim
