Robert Reich explained the teaching numbers.
The Trump BLS changed the way they account for teachers they are understaffed so they do monthly estimates of job losses and then compare that to the CES report. For the month of june they still LOST jobs, but the loss was 75K less than they expected. So they report it as a job GAIN because it's less than they expected.
Reich said not only is it not accurate, it is directly related to them cutting CES and outside consultants because that's where they get the accurate data.
ADP only does private so they don't get info on teachers or government jobs
