    Honestly asking workers about their ability to get a raise or a new job and you would have discovered how weak labor (and the labor market) is right now.

    Not at all surprising.

    These assholes sit there and lie through their teeth, constantly, about “Biden’s economy”. No surprise they’d like about the situation under the donnie dumbfuck regime.

    If the dems actually get some oversight I wonder if we will find out how revised this economy actually needs to be from the BLS manipulations.

    Maybe we’ve been in a heavy recession since the start of this year? Longer?

      Not to beat a dead horse but isn’t AI a huge chunk of the US economy right now? The same AI that needs to make more money than exists on earth to justify its expenditures? My bet would be longer and the balance sheet looks worse than any of us can imagine.

    I’ve never understood why they even release those numbers when they do. They always get revised. Always. And with this administration, you can’t even trust the revisions.

      bad job employments are usually very hazardous to incumbent politicians, and the associated party. thats why its always cooking the books.
