The revised figures show total employment in March was 818,000 lower than had been reported, or 0.5% fewer jobs, suggesting employers added 2.1 million jobs over the past year, not 2.9 million as originally counted.
While the downward revision is not unusual, this year's adjustment is larger than most, taking a bit of the shine off job growth during President Biden's time in office.
Even with the lower figures, the 14 million jobs added during Biden's first three years would outpace that of three previous presidents, highlighting the ongoing economic recovery.
The revision is part of a routine, annual exercise where the government checks monthly jobs numbers against more complete data from state tax records, ensuring accuracy.
