Biden is such a jerk.

Unemployment rate has always been one of the scam statistics. If everyone reports they don’t work and don’t want to work, the unemployment rate will be zero.

Don’t be a headline victim. The jobs report was positive. Snip from ZerHedge, so I can’t post the article:

“Of course, as we also showed earlier, a big reason for the confusion was the gaping seasonal adjustment factor used by the BLS to “normalize” the November number. Had it used a more in-line adjustment, payrolls would have increased by some 300K more, or above 500K, and in line with expectations.”

The 200k figure is ‘adjusted’ BS. Guess what, when the final figures are released that job number is going up quite a bit. We saw it happen before under Trump.

What was the labor participation rate in 2019 pre-covid?

What is the labor participation rate right now?

Those are the only important stats to compare.

That’s why the media won’t put them out.

Brandon is a commie a**hole but this number is flawed. There is NO WAY this 100,000,000 number is accurate.

The actual US workforce is about 160,000,000.

They are including TOTAL US population. This number includes everybody from infants to 100 year olds.

Here’s a hint: Babies and children DON’T WORK and aren’t part of the labor force. Same for most people past 70.

Having said that, the employment situation is not nearly as rosy as the D’s want people to believe. The Biden-Harris regime is proving just as disastrous as Trump and everyone said it would be.

...inflation is growing faster than hourly wage growth resulting in REAL hourly wage growth being -1.4% YoY.

Wages always rise slower than inflation. That's why inflation is really just a wealth transfer - i.e. a tax. The big banks and the government's vendors get the new money first, before prices rise. Wage earners have to suffer from the price increases, and only then can push for higher wages and get them.

The only real measure of employment is the percentage of the workforce that is employed. All other figures are just number games. I am 73 years old and retired. I am not a valid member of the work force. If I were 53 years old and not employed for months and not looking for a job I am not considered part of the work force. Hell, I get money for free why should I work?

The real rate of the unemployed is far higher than the government statistics say.

Like the 2 percent elongated graph they posted showing a decline in gas prices.

NOT in labor force remains elevated compared to pre-Covid levels. And, of course, Biden doesn’t want to mention that inflation is growing faster than hourly wage growth resulting in REAL hourly wage growth being -1.4% YoY.

Ah yes, those greedy small business owners still haven't caught up with inflation and need to pay even more. Pay More! Pay More! /sarc
