Last year's gains of 1.5M jobs created was revised down to just 150k. Can anyone explain to me why that happened and why this isn't the same?

The bulk of the gains (~70%) were in

Leisure and hospitality (+70k) Health care (+35k), and Social assistance (+12k)

Not exactly great news for the medium to long term.
