In a period of way below-trend job growth? Is that what you mean to point out?

Yes exactly, which is why I think it's a massive lie when I read "US added 172,000 jobs in May."

78000 of which are recorded in hospitality with no increase in hours worked or wages. Even if true means there was an increase in 10 hour a week jobs. Recent revisions have also lopped off more that 100k jobs off these reports 6 months later.
