Don’t trust my calculations?

Good, there is always a chance that I could have fat fingered something, but I don’t think I did.

Get the total nonfarm payroll data by clicking on the following link:

Get the December total for each year you want to verify for job gains.

Subtract the previous December from the current December to get the job gain, and repeat for however many years you want to calculate.

Now lets get the high school graduates.

You can find that data by clicking on the following link:

https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d17/tables/dt17_219.10.asp
