[9:34] 38 out of 43 seems like a pretty strong trend to me. If you were a betting man, you'd probably say they're going to revise those numbers down again next month.

The prediction claimed a continuing trend of downward revisions, but the September 4, 2026 BLS report (released just before the prediction date) showed upward revisions to prior months: June was revised up by +11,000 and July was revised up by +44,000, for a combined +55,000 upward revision. The October 2 report's revision data is not yet confirmed, but the stated trend of downward revisions had already reversed. (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm)
