Economics and public policy professor Justin Wolfers called the Friday jobs report a big disappointment. "Folks expected jobs growth to slow to plus-80,000, but we got minus-23,000. Previous calculations showed that celebrations of a growing jobs market were premature, and the positive numbers were nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Former Acting Labor Secretary Seth Harris on Friday likewise called the jobs report "grim," and noted that it's showing what Americans have been feeling for a while now. Perhaps the most troubling stat from the jobs report, Harris said, is that America has lost 1.3 million workers from the job market entirely.
