A report from the Labor Department Friday shows employers cut 92,000 jobs in February, when economists had expected the U.S. would continue adding jobs, albeit at a sluggish pace. The unemployment rate inched up to 4.4%.
“unexpectedly”
Yeah, was gonna say. For every one of Trump’s moves this was the expected outcome.
It has to be worse than this, right? They lie their asses off about this shit.
I mean so far all the revisions have been down and I would expect Jan to shrink further. February’s report revised down January’s previous payrolls figure from 130,000 to 126,000. They also cut December’s figure from 50,000 jobs added to a contraction of 17,000.
Sorry, they don’t measure the economy for people like you and I anymore. The economy, much like credit has been a measure of how well they’re managing to exploit us.
We’re just the cattle.
(people like me --> people like you and me)
And yes. Moo!

Is America great yet? Any day now China is going to start paying all them tarrifs
Unexpectedly expected.
