Almost a million jobs lost in the real world

From Citizen King:


Stocks are tanking even though the headline NFP is in-line because the BLS employed seasonal adjusting chicanery to mitigate job losses. Not seasonally adjusted (NSA) 954,000 jobs were lost. Additionally, the BLS's hokey Net Business Birth/Death Model unfathomably created 72k jobs in December.
