   Okay, so just what was the pre-CoVid private employment peak then?   
      
   Per the above, it was 129,436,000   
      
   So this means that through 12/24, not only were all of the ~10M lost   
   CoVid jobs recovered, but an additional ~5 million new jobs created too.   
      
   Right?   
      
   FWIW, its report on 2025 jobs wasn't looking so hot:  roughly +0.5M
