(Jan 5) Latest Jobs Report: Two-thirds of new jobs in 2023 went to persons born abroad

Ombudsman · 2024-01-07T00:06:15.697Z

Fixed it. Yes moderate inflation.

WuWei · 2024-01-07T00:09:33.061Z

Define “moderate” and what inflation numbers are you claiming?

Look it up yourself buddy.

Initial US employment reports overstated by 439,000 jobs in 2023

Increased government spending and hiring have padded 2023 year-end unemployment numbers by over 400,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Ombudsman:

and you are making massive inferences from small numbers to support your hypothesis.

I made no inferences.

I asked questions.
You made inferences from my questions.

FACT:
According to the latest Jobs Report (Jan 5): Two-thirds of new jobs in 2023 went to persons born abroad.

New Question:
Do you believe Joe Biden’s BLS lied when they reported that number?

Impenitent · 2024-01-07T13:36:31.566Z

I just can’t believe that there have been that many sex change operations

Ombudsman · 2024-01-07T18:42:57.671Z

Gaius:

My underlying thesis is that a flood of criminals at the southern border is increasing labor supply in unhealthy ways and thus keeping wages down.

That is an inference.

I don’t dispute your fact, but it is meaningless in its importance and relevance given that we are at full employment.

Your question is silly.

Biden’s economy…

Strong and consistent GDP Growth
Historically low unemployment
Massive wage growth
Markets at all time highs
Moderate inflation

Ombudsman:

3.1% for 2023.

I’m guessing he would around here if the economy was in the tank.

Certainly it is common for people to give credit/blame for the economy to the president.
Certainly he and his polices have a significant impact.

But the more I study economics the more I find things like the Fed and “exogenous” shocks (COVID, 9-11, birth of the Internet etc.) are greater factors.

If I seem to be blaming Pres. Biden for stuff, well sometimes I am, more often I am saying either
“He didn’t do that. The Fed did.”
or
“If Dems told the truth about the economy no one would support their agenda.”

…and the 1986 Immigration and Reform agreement said it was illegal for a business to knowingly hire illegal aliens. The IRS is supposed to prosecute businesses that do so…how is all of this happening?

Just because someone is foreign born doesn’t mean they are here illegally.

That’s true. But also looks like the IRS needs more funds to crack down on employers who do hire illegals. So I assume everyone here is fine with the IRS hiring more people right? I mean, no one here or in congress threw a complete hissy fit about funding for the IRS right?

Yeah

And that’s what Joe Biden wants to do with them, right?
He hired all those new IRS agents to crack down on illegals working illegally and the people who illegally hire them.

That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that?

And the media runs with the purposeful overstating and hides the revisions.
