(A string of weekly reports showing exactly 212,000 initial claims has raised a few eyebrows on Wall Street.)

Certainly can’t be because of purposeful lying to cover for the disaster of Joetato.

Nah.. . yeah, that’s the ticket!

The numbers are lies. I don’t believe anything the government puts out about jobs or inflation. They change the guidelines so the numbers look better. The new seasonal adjustments most likely have something to do with the numbers not moving at all.

These numbers were generated by Dominion Voting Machines. The totals stayed the same, they were just allocated to different states selected by Joe Bribem.

yep. My wife has been in the same boat. The numbers are complete garbage. All these “jobs” are either gov or part time. They are also counting freelance. The employment market is TERRIBLE even here in Texas... though we keep claiming that we are doing great.

My company laid off about 200 people but they probably have not been counted because they supposedly have a call back date. Even a vague one is enough to not count, I suspect.

That also gives the company a way to avoid paying unemployment and the state a way to deny the claims.

Works out great for everybody except the ones who lost their jobs.

The BLM has dozens of ways to report the numbers. Politicians pick and choose whatever supports their narrative.

I wrote a paper in a graduate economics class about that.
