4. It has to do with how the OPM reports Federal employment data to BLS

I would have expected the data to show a bigger drop in Federal employment by now, but apparently most f the laid off employees have not been considered "officially" separated yet. Eventually those job losses will show up and it won't be pretty.

Oh, and CNBC needs a new proofreader:

Nonfarm payrolls rose 139,000 for the month, above the muted Dow Jones estimate for 125,000 and the downwardly revised 147,000 that the U.S. economy added in April.

139,000 is NOT above 147,000.
