BLS is straight lying. Do the idiots faking the data realize they impact actual rates, though less so than at anytime in history because their data releases do not match the FED releases anymore. That march number is higher than ANY estimate by quite a bit.

BLS has been playing political games with employment data for over a year. Each month they come out with "good" news, only to "revise" the data (downward) a couple of months later. One gets headlines, the other is ignored as "yesterday's news."

By the way, most of the most recent job growth was in part-time jobs. BLS is just another corrupt government agency.

This is what we should expect if we've paid any attention. The media is owned by the same people running the government and neither benefits from the truth being told.

Their plan has worked wonderfully. Considering where these immigrants are coming from, our junior varsity socialism looks like a paradise and they'll be more than happy to vote democrat for eternity.

Guarantee you, these immigrants are being provided with information on how to vote in November.

Can we just get to the part where I get the lobotomy and can stop worrying about it?

It also fails to account for how large a segment of those jobs are government. Factor those out and many states have negative growth.

This is why Trump support is soaring. The people on the ground are feeling it…

Thought the same thing perusing CNN this morning.



It's missing now but there was another bullet this morning something like "Analysis: Why do people miss the Trump-era economy?"

And let's not forget this one:

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

www.zerohedge.com

This number only gets scarier when we extend the period to the past year: as shown in the next chart, since March 2023, the number of full-time workers has collapsed by 1.347 million while the number of part-time workers exploded by 1.888 million!

And tired of the rich in the media telling everyone how the peasants just don't understand how good they have it.

It's easy to fool 65% of the population when they don't understand statistics or know how easily statistics can be manipulated

Just 7% of Americans have "a great deal" of trust and confidence in the media and 27% have "a fair amount."
So I think it is 34%. I can show my work and how I arrived at that

Helps to read a book on occasion as well.

Kind of sad I can not post the direct link to the number one selling non fiction book on Amazon, because it uses naughty language in the title. Posting the authors info for those interested(with a link to the book).

Statistics are like bikinis; what they show might be interesting, but what they conceal is much more important.
