As the media campaign so vigorously for Democrats and cheer how great the Biden-Harris policies have been, suddenly, the Department of Labor comes out with an unemployment report that blows away expectations.
Biden and Harris were out bragging as a significant number of people still can’t pay their bills without running up new debt or going delinquent on the debt they already had.
Supposedly, 254,000 jobs were created in September. Isn’t that amazing, that this report came out one month before the election?
Of course, the media gave the headline number and never got into the details.
Here is one important detail: government jobs showed a gain of 785,000 because of the second biggest seasonal adjustment on record. (It is easy to manipulate numbers when you have “seasonal adjustments.”) This would mean that private-sector employment declined 531,000 with seasonal adjustments. I would say that is not too much to brag about. Somehow, the voters don’t get to see that number, but they know that the economy has sucked the past four years because they can’t pay their bills.
In September, the number of government workers as tracked by the Household Survey soared by 785K, from 21.421 million to 22.216 million, both seasonally adjusted (source: Table A8 from the jobs report). This was the biggest monthly surge in government workers on record (excluding the outlier print in June 2020 which was a reversal of the record plunge from the Covid collapse months before).
And, from the Department of Labor itself: Private-sector employment, not seasonally adjusted, went down 458,000. What would the voters think if they saw the factual number instead of the seasonally adjusted number?

Not a peep in the MSM that without the “Seasonal Adjustment” the jobs number was down. Thai is inconvenient information.
this administration is pulling numbers out of places that require one wear elbow gloves and use gallons of sanitizer.
September is the month when teachers go back to school. Some of them have jobs during the summer, but many do not.
BLS is the Joe Isuzu of government
...one important detail: government jobs showed a gain of 785,000 because of the second biggest seasonal adjustment on record.
Anyone want to bet that these employment numbers are revised downward AFTER the election? Democrats: since you're losing, try something different...like telling the truth? Why are you hiding the mail-in vote count in MI?
That’s what I was thinking. As soon as it’s politically convenient for them, these numbers will be adjusted downward, as they always are.
“As soon as it’s politically convenient for them, these numbers will be adjusted downward, as they always are.”
Even the adjusted numbers are fake like every other government statistic.
Baghdad Bib now running the Bureau of Labor!
I think this used to be called “fuzzy math“.
Numbers released by THIS government are nothing by political BS used to get commie RATS elected.
How many jobs were created by Helene?
It’s based on Venn Diagrams. No lie, man. No lie. etc.

Per the above, what’s soooo not funny...
“Employment in government continued its upward trend in September (+31,000). Government had an
average monthly gain of 45,000 jobs over the prior 12 months. Over the month, employment
continued to trend up in local government (+16,000) and state government (+13,000).”
It’s good to be Deep State.
IWO, it takes a quarter million to process all those illegals and print their nice big hefty checks.
” Supposedly, 254,000 jobs were created in September. Isn’t that amazing, that this report came out one month before the election?”
And probably next month they will downgrade that statistic by 200,000
It’s called “juicing the numbers going into the election, to make the progs look good”.
No honest person of even average intelligence actually believes these numbers.
MSM
MOST STUPID MEDIA ( MSM)
DONT BELIEVE RHE MSM ON ANYTHING
Remember the old days when they said that it was necessary to add 300,000 new jobs every month just to break even?
