>The revisions were unusually large, and were on the upper end of forecasters’ expectations, although a few economists had predicted a reduction of as much as one million jobs.
The potential conspiracy is that the Labor Department has been exaggerating the employment numbers in order to maintain a narrative of a strong economy.

Turns out the estimates were, in fact, too good to be true.
