Aug. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Labor Department on Wednesday said employers added half a million fewer jobs between early 2018 and early 2019 than previously reported.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics lowered its estimates of job gains as part of annual updates based on more complete data. The new findings showed that employers added about 2 million jobs in the year ending in March 2019, down 501,1000 from its previous estimate.
