Maybe later. Right now Powell’s busy jacking up rates so they’ll get laid off...

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned last month that raising interest rates to cool inflation is likely to dampen economic growth -- "and there will very likely be some softening of labor market conditions," he said.

That came from the U.N., did it not? Powell must have listened to his true masters.

We must discount any gubmit employees or congresscritters from the “employed” list, since none of them are doing any real work and their positions do not count as jobs.

If 1 person can be counted as 5 votes, can 1 one person be counted as 5 jobs?

So where the hell is everybody? Why are stores that used to be open from 6:00 am until 11:00 pm only open from 9-9? Why does it take weeks to get an appliance person to come out to your house? I’m going to have to throw the BS flag on this one. Inflated numbers prior to the Mid-Terms

Good.

Women, without a true financial need, stay home and take care of your husband, children and home. That is where you’ll find your happiness like God meant for you.

We to recognize when credit is due. As much as I hate to admit it, Biden and Democrats have increased employment by 201,000 since 2019.

I wonder where all these people are working? I still see “Now Hiring” and “Help Wanted” signs everywhere, and many stores have reduced staff by using self-service checkout and kiosks.

It’s going to take 5-6% unemployment to kill inflation.

You go into a bank, and one - maybe two - teller stations are open, out of six or eight. You go to a supermarket and three or four checkout lines out of eight are open. After Covid, many restaurants are still operating at reduced hours. My local restaurant/lounge is now closed on Tuesday, and the kitchen closes at 2 pm four days a week. Another popular restaurant that used to be open until nine or ten pm now closes at 3 pm every day. And many businesses that were shut down during Covid never reopened, although some are now reopening under new ownership. And many corporate chains have closed dozens or even hundreds of locations. I wonder if most of the new jobs are as delivery people for places like amazon, doordash, and grubhub.

Not sure if anyone here has noticed but the QUALITY of employees has GREATLY diminished. If you call the local power utility, you can expect to wait on hold for at least an hour before someone decides to pick up.

I did this last Friday because one of my former tenants turned the power OFF instead of having me transfer it to my name.
I talked to someone in which it was obvious that they recruited from a “depressed area.” He asked me the same scripted questions several times as most his most likely drug addled brain could not handle the information. He was very slow in speech and slurred his words. Probably had a 2nd grade reading comprehension level.

Turns out he NEVER put the service request in the system after all and I had to call the following Monday to do it all over again.

Numbers never lie, but liars use numbers.

3 or 4 million Illegals entered this country this year, a few million last year, of course this will increase the number employed.

What it does not count is the cheap labor increase from these illegals stealing and depressing salary growth. The Establishment both Dems and RINOs are getting what they want, a bunch of cheap labor that is destroying the rest of the labor force and driving up home costs.

I would like to know how many are underemployed.
Engineers, MBAs, etc doing shit work.
How many are going backwards economically?
How many are maxing out their CCs?
Two metrics don’t tell the full story.

158,936,000 ... The previous record, 158,735,000, was set in December 2019

Maybe not. usdebtclock.org says 159.642,131 for the year 2000.
