The jobs number was "revised" to plus 243,000. The real number was a job loss of over two million jobs. Noone will know until later if the guestimated increase in the seasonal adjustment over last year was appropriate, or not.

Trimtabs does a job creation estimate based on the amount of real-time tax withholdings. That estimate put January's figure at 45,000 jobs [comparable to about 70,00 BLS jobs for some odd reason], the worst month in the last year.
