Just a reminder: this is what the US labor market would look like right now if the statistics weren't distorted by immense artificially created government jobs and the usual well-known statistical shenanigans. When it comes to creative statistical misdirection, politics is really impressively competent!
It has only been a few weeks since you had to correctly revise the labor market statistics downwards by over 800,000 jobs. So we have the recurring proof of the falsification of labor market statistics in favor of the current government. And yet it is not an issue, the internet forgets too quickly.
Not least thanks to the successful work of the mass media, which always distract the attention of the general public from the core of the important issues with foaming at the mouth, smoke and mirrors and provocations. It is astonishing, for example, that none of the political round tables ever address the issue of the central bank and the deliberate devaluation of our money. Where are the so-called representatives of the people?
Thanks to your eloquence on this, I borrowed your sentiment and filtered it into a poem https://x.com/stacker_news/status/1843296060451791275

They are getting upto a level with lying that even a child will understand. There's so much layoff going on that this looks like a mockery now. You can see all the layoffs on 2024 here https://mondo.com/insights/mass-layoffs-in-2022-whats-next-for-employees/

IdK. In my discussions I have to admit that 90% (all middle class people) still have a high level of trust in the state. We're talking about Spain abd Germany. And: there still is 0 btc adoption. At least no open adoption
reply
The same here in India. Whatever government says is correct because 90% believe. There's no respect for the minority like us who knows the truth.

That is a huge percentage. I didnt realize it shifted the data that much. I know a lot of people struggling to find a job. So when that is the case, you know the unemployment factor is higher than they are reporting!

One month before the elections we are witnessing peak manipulation now....

not only peak manipulation, but also a lot of misdirection.

CNBC, CNN, ABC, the NYT, Barrons and everyone should only report on actuals and non government jobs. Obviously the current regime in power wouldn't want that for election season!
