"Non-Farm Payrolls 6/4: OUCH

"I told you so"

Total nonfarm payroll employment grew by 431,000 in May, reflecting the hiring of 411,000 temporary employees to work on Census 2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Private-sector employment changed little (+41,000).

So much for the "strong" (+200,000) private sector job growth that everyone was expecting. ........"

I was wondering earlier today about job grouth figures. When they calculate new job grouth or hires do they factor in the people that were employed but left the workforce on their own. We have a lot in that category.
