How come I don’t feel happy with the news?
“On a revised basis, the number of unemployed in San Francisco increased by 500 in July (from 40,800 to 41,300) as the labor force increased by 3,500 (from 453,200 to 456,700) and the number of employed increased by 3,000 (from 40,800 to 41,300).”
Believe you have the wrong numbers listed at the end there as the number of employed you list appears to be a copy of the number of unemployed you quote earlier.
[Editor’s Note: Good catch and since corrected above (the number of employed increased from 412,400 to 415,400).]
