WRECKED: Media Pushed 1M Jobs Expectation, Now Scrambling to Explain Terrible BLS Jobs Report
NewsBusters ^ | 5/7/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 05/07/2021 9:15:11 AM PDT by JV3MRC

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a devastating report on job growth in April. It completely destroyed the media hype about the jobs growth under President Joe Biden. Their glowing job predictions were off by at least 734,000 jobs. Perhaps as much as 1,734,000 jobs.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the U.S. economy added an embarrassing 266,000 jobs in April, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 6.1 percent. Fox Business host Charles Payne summed up the atrocious figures perfectly: “Congratulations President Biden - you have achieved the progressive utopia. At least 7.4 million job openings but only 266,000 people got a job last month.” Less than 4 percent of the approximate job openings were filled. The report came after multiple media outlets were heralding an expected April boom to the tune of — checks notes — 1 million jobs added.

But Axios was even further off the mark in a May 3 piece headlined, “A jobs report for the ages.” The outlet arguably gave one of the worst predictions for the April jobs growth:

"While it is not expected to match or exceed June's 4.8 million, some economists believe we could see more than 2 million jobs added, compounding the momentum from March when American employers added 916,000 jobs."

They will remove the stories from the media sources and say that Biden always meant 200K jobs in the first the 100 days.
Down the memory hole!

If the corrupt liberal ‘press’ covers it at all it’ll be on an inside page at the bottom - with a list of ‘excuses’ why it could be Trump’s fault.

The Washington Post and New York Times suck...

“They will remove the stories from the media sources and say that Biden always meant 200K jobs in the first the 100 days.”


It’s easily explained. Biden appears to have problems with numbers. Remember the 150,000,000 American deaths by gunfire since the assault weapons ban died? Or the 300,000,000 Americans dead from Wuhan? I think it is because he stuttered as a child. /s

Funny he didn’t seem to stutter much when he was lynching, oops, I mean “interviewing” Clarence Thomas all those years ago.

(Yes, I saw the /s tag, just commenting on how worthless the media is.)

They will blame it on Trump.

Here too. Page after page of good paying factory jobs and many administrative jobs as well.

Actually, there are more than enough jobs open to make Biden look like a genius for filling them - except he decided to pay people not to fill them.

A few weeks ago an unemployed 40-something, currently drawing very generous unemployment benefits (like $1,200/month), told me he has NO plans to go back to work until he’s sucked every last dime out of, ‘The Man.’

Meaning me. Meaning you.

Multiply that by a few million more and you just might begin to see a problem here!

I was ‘in town’ today - population about 4K. There are ‘Help Wanted’ signs in just about EVERY business.

Yup. You can’t blame folks for taking the free cash that comes without the 15% social security deduction. Why work if Biden will pay you to sit home, smoke weed, play video games, and snack?

Looks like the media took a victory lap too soon and the wheels fell off. Anyone who quotes Axios as news deserves what he gets.

a devastating report on job growth

The media will say this devastating report shows how bad Trump was, or some other such nonsense. The media is so corrupt it's sickening.

Enough. I don’t care who’s president. The president is not directly responsible for the “jobs report” or the number of deaths due to a virus or the price of gasoline, or terrorist attacks during his presidency.

But the media obviously thinks he is. It suppresses good reports during Republican presidencies, and hypes them when a communist is in the oval office.

Yep, isn't socialism wonderful.
