The disinformation is strong right now.  Have you seen that over the last three months they have adjusted the previous months numbers down by 366,000 jobs.  Always adjusted downward after the fact and with no fanfare but these adjustments are crazy.  Also, the labor participation rate went down once again and is lower than it has been for awhile.  Also, the number of people holding part time jobs and multiple jobs is soaring.  And worst of all, the number one entity adding jobs has been the government followed not so closely by the health care sector.

At this point, I no longer believe any numbers the govenrment puts out.  It's too much like the transscripts of Joe's speeches that are always revised to take out his flubs and stupid statements; they put the numbers out there, make the nwes and adjust them downward.

It was closer to 500,000 fewer jobs created than originally posted by the BLS.  So you are smart to disbelieve the numbers.  Wait until you see the lies they tell in 2024.  Problem for the Brandon admin is that people judge what is happening to the economy based on their own experience and the experience of those around them.  Especially when they go to the store and look at the prices, when they talk to family and friends that are struggling to make ends meet with inflation, high interest rates, having to hold multiple jobs, 2-3% raises (unlike the Feds that got a nice 5%+ raise), etc.  Just saw an article today that most corporations are planning job cuts in 2024.
