Why would anyone take US job number reports seriously at this point is beyond me

They keep getting revised down. Those who celebrate when new job numbers are above expectations, are the same who remain quiet once they get revised down

The cycle is as follows:

1. Release numbers surpassing expectations
2. Coordinated celebration in praising the US economy and current administration
3. Numbers get revised down
4. *crickets*

At this point you should be used to this playbook.
