Payroll employment increases by 157,000 in July; unemployment rate edges down to 3.9%

17. I'm gonna stick with the BLS report (same every month, same surveys every month).

Among the unemployed, the number of reentrants to the labor force decreased by 287,000 in July
to 1.8 million, following an increase in June. (Reentrants are persons who previously worked
but were not in the labor force prior to beginning their job search.)

Looks like the correct answer is right there in the BLS comments.

And after the numbers were added to the May and June totals, how do you get to add them to July? Nice try!

I'm sure if there were better results, the American government would be publishing them for all to see, not leaving it to "bloggers" to correct the record.
