Check the A9 report from BLS. As usual in this great economy, we lost full time jobs and gained part time jobs.
A valid point.
Yet hourly wages were up.
(By the way, it’s curious how some dismiss the BLS yet still find credible data which confirms their bias. I am NOT speaking of you. But if BLS stats were fraudulent then those compiling them could and would easy jimmy the full time/part time numbers to make a stronger recovery case.)
