Are these 178,000 jobs in the room with us now?
I really don’t know what to believe anymore. I’m searching for good news, but I just don’t see where all this hiring is taking place. Is it all in healthcare? Is our economy just getting by on diabetes treatments for baby boomers?
I didn't believe the Biden jobs numbers and I don't believe the Trump jobs numbers. The feds are lying and you can see it in stagnant wages and ghost postings.
The feds are not lying.
NP. Under Trump they definitely are lying. I haven't heard a GOP/MAGA tell the truth in a year, or call out Trump's bad behavior.
They’re very open about their methodology. To date, they are not faking numbers.
DP. I’m willing to believe the methodology is transparent and they aren’t just making up numbers. But I DO NOT understand why there is any sort relief from these numbers - they should be reported as current estimates, also report how often, by how much, and in which direction recent adjustments to the monthly numbers have been made.
They report it like it’s an established fact!
