I’m not an economist, but a 17% miss on the short side is a big deal, right?
I’m sure the media will be all over this.
It might be more helpful for them to show state by state ‘adds’. I’d be willing to bet the vast majority of the 559k jobs added were in red states.
It’s all a paper performance anyway. Depends on how you define things.
I heard a report to day about this issue. They said about 2 million older Americans have decided to take early retirement. Of course with the inflation that seems to be growing, they may soon have to go back to work again, at least part time. I sure hope Congress can get it’s act together and vote out an infrastructure bill.
All over ignoring it.
