Newsmax On-Air Correction: February Jobs Report Reveals a Loss, Not a Gain

Newsmax’s Marc Lotter corrected co-host Sharla McBride on air after she claimed February’s jobs report added 92,000 jobs; the correction stated the economy actually lost 92,000 jobs, with December revisions downward by 65,000, totaling about a 17,000 net December loss. The data coincided with a sharp market drop (Dow ~900 points, S&P 500/Nasdaq ~1.6%), a small uptick in unemployment to 4.4%, and warnings that healthcare hiring could fall if proposed Medicaid cuts pass in President Trump’s plan.
