Good News? May Jobs Report

LOL I dunno.
I just saw it on Twitter and this thread came to mind.

Where can i see the left chart for prior years?

Asking for fun!

By looking at the right chart.
The right chart IS the long term chart.

Ah thank you

For the first time in a long time?

What were those peaks and valleys on the right chart then?

Bleeps?

I think the term for those is “standard deviation” or some such.

Possibly but if you were to draw the green line from 2000 through now drops in disposable income can be seen as a persistent issue.

You know that too but you like poking :grin:

I could do that, but the previous dips and peaks seem to be highs and lows around a central tendency or average.

Clearly has happened, what is happening, is completely different and unprecedented.

You might want to try a different approach.

I don’t give a flying dragon who caused it.

It is wholly irrelevant to me whether Biden caused it or Obama. He Or bush for that matter.

Presidents have a limited effect on job creation but we do cast blame or heap praise on the admin when changes occur.

What remains interesting however is that the deep dive analysis is only limited to times when the other guys are in power :thinking:

So that makes it untrue?
Or that means that I wasn’t posting much in the whatever days “my guys” were in power?

No it doesn’t make it untrue. You are not really the target of my “indignation.” I am only responding to ya since you are engaging me :grin:
