The surprise is the legacy media is reporting it.

But, since harris is operating on ‘hope and joy’, statistics don’t matter anyway.

Either big media is looking to derail harris, or they figure it’s in the bag for her and it’s okay to come clean.

Note that the “downward adjustments” (snort) were limited to the “private sector”.

IOW, it’s good to be Deep State.

The private sector now exists to service our so-called public servants.

And the S&P 500 is still up 18.5% year-to-date. Someone is making a lot of money this year, and I bet it isn’t the small investors.

The only thing that surprises me is that CNN is reporting it truthfully. Of course, if I read beyond the headline, I’d probably find some “Let’s hate Trump” in the article.

It’s cover for the Fed to slash rates and juice the economy.

The unemployment numbers have always been huge lies. They don’t count people living off welfare.! If they did the rate would be 20% and 70% among blacks.

If Trump was President the headline would be “Trump Labor Dept lies about jobs numbers”.

How can they “miss” a number by nearly a million?

It has to be intentional in order to make the Biden/Harris administration look good.
