In November, 228,000 jobs were added according to economy according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. FiveThirtyEight Visual Journalist Julia Wolfe breaks down the meaning of this report.
Wolfe says these numbers are more of an estimate, and will be revised over the coming months. Wolfe says the Bureau of Labor Statistics says the first report could range by 120,000. So a number that first seems impressive could change drastically over the coming months as more data surfaces.
