Count if a range of cell begins with a month

[mrkris1982]

I have a date column formatted in mm/dd/yyyy
I have a chart that I want to automatically update as I enter data into the spreadsheet. Here's what I'm looking for help on:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Month[/TD]
[TD][TABLE="width: 224"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 224"]Jobs[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[/TD]
[TD]Income[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]August[/TD]
[TD]count if column A begins with 8[/TD]
[TD][TABLE="width: 305"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 305"]SUM column J if adjacent column A begins with 8[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]September[/TD]
[TD]count if column A begins with 9[/TD]
[TD][TABLE="width: 305"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 305"]SUM column J if adjacent column A begins with 9[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]October[/TD]
[TD]count if column A begins with 10[/TD]
[TD][TABLE="width: 305"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 305"]SUM column J if adjacent column A begins with 10[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]November[/TD]
[TD]count if column A begins with 11[/TD]
[TD]SUM column J if adjacent column A begins with 11[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

What formulas can I use to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance

does it need to have the month number
otherwise use the date
=COUNTIFS(A:A,">="&B2,A:A,"<"&EDATE(B2,1))

in B2 - JOBS
put the month
1/8/17

then in B3
1/9/17

etc
