FRED series PAYEMS (the same series behind the Employment page), differenced month to month rather than shown as a level. Starts January 2024, not the full series back to 1939 -- a deliberate scope decision (2026-08-09), not a data limitation: April 2020's real print was roughly -20,500K, about 900x tonight's reading, and would flatten every other bar on this chart to an invisible line near zero if included at the same scale. Black bars are net job gains; red bars are net losses.
