The Durden Dispatch yesterday had an article entitled, “The Most Ridiculous Jobs Report in Recent History”, so you’re not the only analyst fuming at the nonsense. (Somehow, I’m not able to post a link to it; maybe only for paid subscribers).
Anyway, the positive takeaway in the ridiculous spin of the Authorities is that few average Americans are going to buy it. Remember, few people are brilliant analysts like yourself, and are just frantically trying to get through their day raising children, going to their jobs, trying to stay on top of problems. They don’t have the time or inclination to dig into jobs numbers. What they DO know is that the prices of food have climbed during the past four years, it’s become depressingly difficult to buy a house or a new car, and life in general has become harder. Their job no longer ‘feels’ as secure, and new career opportunities aren’t jumping into their view. Their gut feel at the voter booth is going to be, “yeah, I’m not better off”. So the BLS’s spin may backfire at election time.
I sure wish I had the connections to get your analysis here to important people like Trump. These kinds of fact-based critiques should be leveraged into political power - not to mention furtherance of the truth!

Talk about a “con job”, the American people are really getting one from the Biden administration!
Sadly, while the con job has gotten worse under Dementia Joe, it did not start with Dementia Joe.

We've not had honest government for years.
I say decades, but I will defer to the expert.
Thanks, Peter.
