In my life (I'm very old) the economy has been up sometimes and down sometimes. Definitely in an "up" right now though.

Two job holders or people who just have one part time job?

There’s no doubt the majority of “growth” is in part time jobs.

Reminding all viewers of this blog that several months back the BLS wiped out almost an entire year of job “growth” with a mouse click

Yikes. This is brutal to watch

It’s brutal to see Steve Dave doubling and tripling down on bad semantics while also totally avoiding the BLS admitting they tossed the books into a fryer, setting: The Sun - a few months back

As the tsunami of the usual tap outs flood in from the usual weirdos who can't ever use their words.

Also . . .
In #blueanon world, it's like this never happened a few months later.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a preliminary downward revision of 818,000 jobs for 2024 on August 21, 2024. BLS published the draft results of its annual benchmarking exercise, which stated that employment gains were previously overstated by 818,000 through March of 2024.

This preliminary revision, should it hold up to the final revision announcement in February 2025, means that the estimates for job gains between March 2023 and March 2024 will be lowered, as will all the months since then for which BLS published employment numbers.

This is the biggest revision since 2009

That’s actually not a terrible combo, I agree.

An economy which attributes almost all of its "growth" to massive government spending, government hiring, highly government subsidized hiring . . .

Sounds like a great time to gut federal agencies and collapse the smoking hot economy

stalkerbot2000 - remember back when rep OxyGin used to lose her rough ridin' gin and oxy addled mind about $225 billion dollar deficits. I think she or some other #blueanon favorite said something about that being the height of mismanagement.

What changed? (you won't answer)

stevedave steps up with the usual tap out.

(and I know he's already looked at the post and only showed back up because he's emboldened by stalkerbot2000

)
