I'm betting that the minute a Democrat is elected President, they suddenly will find all of these missing jobs.

I have always wondered why the data source was not with the IRS. It would seem to me that several categories of data would be reasonably well “centered” and “sourced” at the IRS.

1) The number of new companies (business growth) or specifically, the number of Tax IDs issued to businesses in the US during that month

and

2) The monthly income revenue / person. That is, take the total income tax revenue, and divide it by the total number of tax payers.

and

3) New jobs - new with holdings filed with the IRS

I suspect these numbers would be far closer to reality.

Explain to me what motive the current administration’s people in the DOL have in under reporting the number of jobs.

And if they do have some reason to falsely report the numbers - why are they still in the job?

Something just doesn’t add up.
