NOUN
The practice of psychologically manipulating someone into questioning their own sanity, memory, or powers of reasoning.
Statistics can be and probably are being manipulated. The jobs you posted were probably well paying. Who knows about the new jobs. You’d really have to dig through the details to know. Trump had record after record until COVID and the Rats never once gave him credit so...meh
What were the adjustments to December and November?
Zero Hedge is a wonderful conservative/libertarian source. I too don’t know why it is blocked here.
With these numbers, the Fed would normally raise interest rates…if it wasn’t an election year.
Wish I still had access to JM Huber data for ink and kaolin clay. Those were good tells about the direction of the economy. For now UPS and Fedex will have to do. Neither bodes well. Maybe the drunken spending spree with stimulus is slowing down and back to normal? Don't know.
I do know one thing for sure. I don't trust anything this gooberment has to say anymore.
Voodoo economics.
“No is starving because tractor sales are up.”
In the book, 1984, the Ministry of Truth reduces the chocolate ration from 30 grams per week to 20 grams, but the Ministry of Truth states that it has been increased to 20 grams. Anyone questioning the truth is a criminal.
Same thing here.
10 year bond now trading over 4%. So where are all the “experts” that predicted 4 rate cuts beginning in March? LOL!
In a few months, this number will be quietly revised downward.
Like virtually every other government “labor report”, this one will be revised significantly downward WITHOUT any fanfare.
Here’s my explanation as to why the numbers look “good” but the general population considers the economy bad: These jobs are being filled by Boomer-retirees and homemakers who have been forced to reenter the workforce to pay the bills. Also, many jobs are being filled as second or even third jobs as Americans struggle to pay the rent. Finally, the COVID money has now run its course and the deadbeats that laid around on their couches for three years now have to pay their own freight and are taking jobs (and they are not happy).
Do you expect anyone in the Biden Administration Border Control to say there are any problems they can't handle at our southern border?
Every thing is rosy and the Emperor Slow-Joe has clothes on and all his mental faculties. They know what they need to say to keep the DOJ from naming them in some kind of criminal case.
