"We apologise again for the fault in the data. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked."

Since he's installing loyalists, the integrity of the data will now always be in question.

If the numbers aren't great, and that's even with a thumb on the scale?

"It's the past administration's fault I fired that staff! You liberal media always pushing propaganda!"

And that 2200 number got announced after being already cooked by the new replacement management. Imagine what the actual number was.

And these jobs that were created are mostly ICE hires ಠ_ಠ

The numbers released on Friday mark the first such release since a dismal jobs report last month prompted Trump to fire McEntarfer, the bureaucrat in charge of them, and claim the data was politically manipulated.

He then nominated Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni, a Project 2025 architect and fan of Nazi battleships, as her potential replacement.

It would be pretty funny if he keeps firing them everytime a report comes out...

Trump suffers...

Don't get my hopes up like that

The ironic thing is, a lower employment rate increases the chances the Fed will reduce interest rates, which is exactly what Trump wants. He is working against himself trying to rig the numbers, and creating a situation where rates can get significantly out of sync with the real economy.

I guess the economy is complicated huh, just like health care? Sure seems like Biden had the right tactic for four years, so what's his problem? Too stupid? What good was that ivy league business education of his?

I bet 11000 of those new jobs are just loyalists replacing "DEI hires" (aka competent people).

surprised the new hire could even count that high.

Wait wait wait.... are you telling me that ignoring and hiding a problem does not FIX that problem???!!

There are less jobs then there are people

There are not enough jobs in existence to sustain the people in existence

This is an absolute failure of this system, if this continues then we are going to be raiding grocery stores soon.

Just got to remind myself. As long as I can make it to the next housing crash, I will be ok. And if I'm ok, I can keep helping others.

But damn do they make it hard.

Just eye already

To the surprise of literally no one, the American economy is doing bad.

“Despite” firing…fixed it.
