“Figures don’t lie but liars will figure.”
The last employment report before the election. Did anyone really expect the feds to report bad numbers?
Cooking the books.
Employment figures and inflation measurements are complete hogwash and have been for a very long time.
They want to hide bad news like this so they can claim the recession started AFTER Republicans do well in the midterms.
Thanks for posting. I kept asking and seeking why our economy is so bad but keeps adding jobs. This just makes sense especially since March we’ve only added 150k jobs but the paperwork shows we added 2.3 million. Mostly part time probably their second or third job to make ends meet.
The local Cumbys in a nice small town closed at 4 pm yesterday because of no staff.
Most all restaurants in the area are closed Sunday and Monday because of no staff.
I think the article misses the real scandal, it isn’t that BLS is cooking the books, it is these tech companies waited until the last couple weeks to do layoffs so they wouldn’t show up in the BLS numbers before the elections.
We get a good employment number right before voting, then all the layoffs show up in next months number after GOP wins.
Just like all those Biden voters at 3:00 am. 2 million out of work folks show up, POOF, just like that!
