Yea...its all three card monte

“Wage gains also came in slightly stronger than expected. Hourly earnings rose 0.5 percent in April and are up 4.4 percent over the last 12 months”

But inflation was still 5% in March so real wage gains are still negative.

"The jobs report reveals that the economy is slowing, but the labor market remains surprisingly robust."

Bull-crap.

And, the vast majority of those jobs are those lost when the lockdowns started and BeijingBiden doubled down on them.

No jobs were created. Just re-instated.

Today on Varney's show, the guest they had on said that the jobs numbers for the last two months had been revised downward. So, I expect this number to be revised as well.

This was a common practice during the Obama administration, so we shouldn't be surprised that Joe is continuing to use it.
