So there's big jobs report coming up on an upcoming Friday,  and it isn’t going to be as clear-cut as we want. The reason? The government revises its numbers every year, letting old and new numbers intermingle. This is creating a situation ripe for misunderstanding.

First, let\`s break this down. The report, due on Friday, isn't just the raw data we usually get every month. This time, that raw data is being re-examined. These numbers don't account for small errors made in the past which they are trying to fix this month. Both the looks of job growth and employment rates will be different.

Jumbled up jobs figures are common every year. This is an job report that\`s crucial. The U. S. government uses several methods to collect data each year.

Here’s a big part of these numbers are from things that have the potential to confuse readers some jobs measures will go up, others might go down, and some will remain the same. This could make it all mayhem but that it is not the case. Let me break it down a bit. When numbers go down for someone they go up for the other side, everything comes to a balance. The picture painted by the government is meant to paint a proper medium picture of what is really going on. The year-end jobs report is a well-meaning exercise making numbers clearer but it will be better without murky visibility.

The government uses two surveys to figure out employment rates and here\`s the big thing to know - they aren't perfect. One survey talks to the businesses and the other talks to households.

We\`re in a bit of a black and white mess right now, especially us the people trying to make sense of it all. The political fever is heating up skewing facts and figures, partly because politicians are engaging in mutual mistrust where numbers as seen as twisted data.  These numbers get altered by politicians wanting data that sees them in a better light leaving us in confusion.

Put the revised numbers under a microscope. These numbers from the  past haven\`t been perfect as history shows they have been in large variations. So think critically about claims that new percentages prove to be a bit better than what you\`ve heard.

To simplify the process every year, government reconciles these figures with more accurate but slower-moving data.  These data adjustments are crucial they will help understand the \'hopeful\' employment situation seems more optimistic than first realized.  According to the statistics bureau these doctored numbers are old and they are better as it provides better measures for the future.

Understand the dual mess that we need to get through - employers\` surveys may provide a skewed view of reality and don\`t forget they can miss a lot.

The other survey is the household survey.  The living rooms in America talk to the rumble in the world each month.  They tells us what the government hears about what\`s going on in the world each month. The home unit in America makes a bold truth with the world each month.  In this house talk they are much smaller because they know they can\`t figure out the exact truth from the office of trees but they get very noisy rumblings of the truth.  This year end process provides a much more accurate picture than other faster but less accurate measurements.

With the exceptional peak in support seeing a 7% market as British record in the last two decades it turns out that a rebound from further dramatic fall will mean to expect consistent full employment at median levels of 7%.
