Wall St. totally discounts employment/unemployment numbers between mid-November and the end of January the next year.
Most jobs are seasonal/temp that are gone in 6-8 weeks.
Thus, the numbers are unreliable.
Still, 75K jobs added in December [mostly seasonal/temp] is pathetic. Shows that retailer/service industries have no faith in the economy ...
It probably also shows that the 4.1% increase in GDP reported recently is just bogus.
There is no way on God’s green earth that GDP is 4.1%. And real unemployment, the way they used to count it before Clinton, is upwards of 12%.
Recovery, my sweet Aunt Fanny. There is no recovery.

They are playing fast and loose with economic statistics a) because they can and b) because they think it helps them maintain power.
