I thought you’d end with “never mind”,

tipping my hat to Gilda! That was the only good thing to come from this report. Thank you as always for doing the work and presenting it in such a way that it is understandable. It’s 3:20am and unfortunately this isn’t the sleep inducing read I was looking for. Thank you

Call it “foreshadowing”.

I suspect the theme when I do the November Employment Situation Summary will be “Never mind”.

I hope it will be—if it isn’t the theme is very likely going to be “Oh sh*t”.

It doesn’t take a PhD in economics to see that employment trending upward in health care and government is a very bad thing. If more people are requiring health care, that means more Americans are becoming chronically sick and unhealthy. If more people are employed by government, that just adds to the national debt. Pretty much any eighth-grader can see this, but not the mainstream media.

Peter, you must feel like you’re the proverbial voice crying out in the wilderness. You’ve continuously been getting smarter while most of the rest of the world de-evolves to plain stupid. All the more reason we appreciate you!

Ah, the good old days. When SNL not only featured real comedians but was actually pretty damn funny. IDK how you waddle through this torturous (not to mention painfully inaccurate) data but I do always appreciate your take and your humor.
