My grandmother’s boyfriend taught all her grandkids how to drive stick (double-clutch downshifts) in whichever one of his VWs was running reliably that week.

There are 10,000 PPIs released monthly. I think we need more context to understand why these 350 were cut and how important they are. The news is from May 14, and there hasn’t been much commentary from BLS watchers.
