Good News? September 2024 Jobs Report

So here’s the link to the actual report:

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

Main points: 254,000 jobs created. Which is pretty good. Unemployment rate down a bit to 4.1%. Year on year wage increase of 4%. Outpacing inflation. Revisions for July and August added another 72,000 jobs. So overall pretty good. Economy is seeming pretty solid.

Whatever the report says it will be revised downwards later (as always with this administration) .

The first reports (with this administration) are always inflated.

See, you that a lot, and even when presented with evidence to the contrary, you choose to ignore it. In this very report, they revised July and August upwards? I mention it in the original post. How does that fit with “always”? And I can give you a ton of other examples. Do you really not know this or do you just choose not to acknowledge it and lie about it?

Yes. Good news.

I’m sure the build back better jobs were targeted for just before the election. The dems always back off on crazy in an election year and pump the gov jobs. Heck, in Cal they kicked out the homeless camps this year.

But if they get re-elected gas prices will skyrocket and regs will kill jobs… Not to mention ongoing endless wars. Dems are the warmonger party!

The only jobs dems create are government jobs.

Too many of those already.

The numbers will be adjusted downward as always but instead of headlines those will be in the real estate section or obituaries. :roll_eyes:

That doesn’t happen “always” lol

Yeah they used to be antiwar (Vietnam era) but now that many of them are past fighting age they are very much pro war.

The numbers for the last two months were literally revised upwards in this very report. Before your own eyes.

It will be revised down about 100 thousand or more after the election…not like they have long history of over inflating those numbers.

Remember 818,000 fewer jobs last year?

His may be a partisan take, but isn’t pretty much every report advised one way or another?

Every single one gets revised. Sometimes up, sometimes down. Multiple times.

How much would you like to bet that this monthly report does not get revised down 100,000 after the election?

They have a history of doing this on a regular basis.

Even more so now.

If they’re just playing with the numbers as you seem to believe, why don’t they just play with them so they’re always good and don’t revise down? Makes no sense.

Are YOU denying history of over inflating their numbers when it’s convent for em?

NBC

NPR

CBS
