Interesting.

The Employment Situation report, which gives the unemployment rate, gets it's population data from Census.
On the first friday of July, I wonder if this correction will show up.

Normally almost 200K additional people are added per month, and 1.5-2.5 million per year.

Correction of 1 million for the last 6 months should be evident.

Should be interesting to see.

I agree.

Please keep this thread in mind and keep us up to date on this one.

Any solid correlation provided would be excellent news.

Alright, so I took a look at some of this.
Turns out, the BLS Jobs Report actually does publish the raw numbers, sort of. The data referred to is in Table A-7 each month. The A-series of Tables are from the survey which is performed by Census, but the census population figures each month are not correlated, not aligned with this A-7 data.
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t07.htm

The Census (Dept of Commerce) does not seem to actually publish or report the data. But they do compile the surveys and data, provided to BLS - yet also provide BLS with Population data which they refuse to correct/align until January. And then BLS publishes this data provided by Census.

I have not used, watched, or kept track of these figures - because they do not directly control the numbers used to relate Unemployment.
I think I'll try to list some of this data, but due to BLS revisions, I won't be able to ensure continuity of data. The Unemployment data I post and update is from was is initially published, and not retroactively revised, changed, altered. But the available data now will obviously be whatever BLS has archived.

Table B-1 gives Total nonfarm employees, Private, Government, Federal Government, State Government, Local Government.
