As usual, will be be waiting for the revised numbers.

The revisions for September and October were something of a surprise--September because the second revision basically just reversed the first revision, and October because it was not a massive correction to get the number back above 100K. The revised jobs number for October is still a fairly pathetic 36K.

There's still a chance that the second revision for October will also be to the upside and so the jobs numbers for that month might be "salvaged", but as matters stand October was just a bloodbath on jobs.

Biden/Harris was slipped in under the radar while OWS was running full tilt after COVID was 'released' into Erde's human population (Mistake? Deliberate? Pick one of two....) and what protections had existed for maybe decades for 'free and fair' elections were swept to the roadside to defeat Trump.

The collateral damage that resulted pretty much killed whatever resurgence of productive employment might have benefitted the US economy, given the yet-persistent 'work-at-home' rules for Government employees (the surge we saw) vs. employees who can't Work @ Home, because that's not where their jobs exist!

Oh, and the inflation from 'free' money handed out with abandon to citizens and illegals.

We'll have to wait for Act II in 2026 to see what lasting effects the Election of 11/24 brings us. The lawfare of 2021 - 2024 certainly turned a lot of voters towards Trump who then voted their preference over a VP Roundheels Presidential candidate while the Lame Duck in Chief hands out pardons for crimes – and crimes only thought about, if not actually committed – while his ice cream melts and his Depends fills.
