by REPORTING a 92,000 job loss (161,000 loss including prior 2 months' downward revisions). It was inevitable, we ALL expected the BLS book-cookers would report big losses like this, I guess.

Particularly after non-government payroll processor ADP reported, just 2 days ago, that private sector jobs increased by 63,000 in February.

On this thread, we're not seeing the KK! Brigade, and instead the SPITR types are all proclaiming that they expected the BLS to report an essentially six-figure job loss all along. "Who didn't expect this?"

I didn't see any predictions like that at all prior to the release of this report, but maybe somebody could point me to all of them, or maybe just one or two. I only saw a prediction that they'd report even larger job gains than in January.
