“Falling Off A Cliff”: This Chart Proves That We Are In A Major Economic Downturn Right Now
Activist Post ^ | 12/12/24 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 12/12/2024 9:36:42 PM PST by CFW

The number of job openings in the United States has been “falling off a cliff”, and that is a major red flag. The last four years have been an economic nightmare for most Americans, and that is one of the primary reasons why Donald Trump won the election. But as we approach 2025, things are starting to get frighteningly bad. When the number of job openings in the U.S. drops by 2 million or more, that normally signals that we are either in a recession or that one is about to happen. Well, as you can see from this chart that was posted by Bravos Research on Twitter, we are witnessing a collapse in job openings that is absolutely unprecedented…

Interesting chart and information links included in the article.

I've noticed that since the election, the media has performed almost a 180 when it comes to the economy. My husband and I noticed it right away as the media started mentioning the job numbers and inflation in a negative way and even occasionally mentioning the "R" word.

We can expect more of such reporting over the next few weeks until becoming a theme of daily articles beginning January 20th.

There’s actually an economic indicator that from what I understand is 100% accurate and predicting a recession that triggered a few months back. That is the uninverting of the yield curve. I believe it’s the 10 and the two year, it was inverted for the longest time in history, and it uninverted in like September. Which historically means that we’ll hit a recession in about a year at the most.

And it doesn’t matter who is president. But yes, Trump will get the blame.

MSNBC and CNN have had rolling bottom of the screen lines “Trump will benefit from current economic upswing” in one or another wording.

Meanwhile Fox reported 74% or something believe the country is in bad or very bad economic shape today.

And the government wonders why people no longer accept the lies such as “there has never been one confirmed sighting of a drone in the sky” and earlier months “UAP reports are mostly sightings of Venus or aircraft”. Plus any month now we’ll have a little known about the motives and backgrounds of the perps in the two near miss assassinations of Trump.

Nobody buys the lies now. Many even think the CEO killer is being framed. Video was altered, they say.

More of the degeneration caused by years and years of lies.

What most people don’t realize is Obama killed the economy in 2008 and it’s only been kept alive this long through a series of extraordinary measures. Bankers may not trust each other buy they do trust money and it was that little trick that has kept it going.

Trump should put up that graphic as part of a major speech by the end of January. I know SOTU is usually later, but, an early SOTU to lay out the problems we face might be a darn good idea, because we really have some “doosies” to face up to... :-(

Trump needs to make sure people realize what some of these existing trends mean.

The economist, what’s his name?—”More”, says small business sentiment is markedly up since Trump won the national election.

So there’s that. As they say.

DOGE must be implemented fully to give Americans a fair chance <~~ and I do not state this lightly. Maybe I should have typed in an elevated font?

Yes, the signs are there. Stores shutting down everywhere. Also a few new ones opening, but the majority are closures. I got a haircut today. Place usually only has 1 or 2 haircutters, but today was busy with 4 haircutters. Asked my cutter why they had two new cutters, and was told that the business shut down two other locations and had a couple workers shift to this remaining shop. Not good.

We’re in a recession now, but many people don’t realize it yet. I believe that the stock market will reverse course in the next few weeks, perhaps have a big crash and shed almost a quarter of it’s value. Even though the market is making gains now, I am selling off some of my portfolio and shifting to a cash basis. I’ll get back in next year sometime after Trump takes office. Hopefully things will get better right now, but it’s damn scary how bad the signs look.

The Biden Bureau of Labor has been fudging the jobs numbers for 4 years. Evidence of that fact has been reported here before.

When you have even dollar stores closing, you have an economy in trouble. Part-time jobs for illegal aliens and gov jobs are the only jobs with increasing numbers.

Dems are in scorched earth mode. It is their goal to thwart efforts to improve economic conditions now by shoveling Gov funds to the tune of $642B deficit for just Oct and Nov.
preventing Gov firings by extending agreement until 2029
giving away border fence materials
Approving land mines and long range in Ukraine

The only good thing is there no way but up after we hit bottom

At the 1:12 mark watch as the CNBC analyst starts to read the real numbers off the script. I apologize it is J Bravo in advance...LOL. But I haven’t found just a clip of it from Squawk Box CNBC, but it seems Bravo did catch it.

PPI report reaction and inflation
