In this week’s Three on Thursday, we explore what happened in the preliminary set of revisions to payroll growth and its implications for jobs. These revisions provide a more accurate picture of job growth, as they’re based on state unemployment insurance tax records from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW).
