I hope folks are noticing that absolutely everything related to the economy is “unexpected”, “more than expected”, or “less than expected”, now that we have the smartest man on earth and his cadre of the brightest people in the world leading us toward the leftist ideal.

Regards

Last weeks numbers were revised UP to 504,000 and the 4 week moving avg also was UP.

But that doesn’t make as good of a headline for the NYT.

“The Slimes cheerleading 473,000 new unemployed. “Could be worse!””

It will be worse when they revise the numbers next week.

My daughter has been looking since January and still has not found a job. The NY Times is full of crap.

Does this mean unemployment will remain steady at 9.6%, again.

Had this been a Republican administration, the headlines would be; “Record numbers of hopeless people apply for public assistance due to cruel and unnecessary job losses caused by Republican incompetence and failure to create jobs. Worst Republican caused DEPRESSION in the history of the UNIVERSE!”

"Spirit, are they yours?" Scrooge could say no more.

"They are Man's," said the Spirit, looking down upon them. "And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!" cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. "Slander those who tell it ye. Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse. And abide the end."

"Have they no refuge or resource?" cried Scrooge.

"Are there no prisons?" said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. "Are there no workhouses?"

Yeah you know it is bad when even the Leftists at “Fact Check” have to come out and say “The Administrations claims of jobs saved is exaggerated”.
