There was also a big revision to the much-hyped July figures (with much bigger losses than previously reported).

The soylent green shoots crowd is taking one in the neck today.

"That's a loss of 995,000 jobs, not 263,000, and the labor force contracted by 1,262,000 people!"

917,000 of those jobs were for kids aged 16-19. It essentially reverses the roughly 1 million jobs that were added in May. It also indicates that there's no jobs for recent college graduates.
