His ring sting is acting up. He's cranky.

No reply!!!! This whole board had no problem believing the revisions last year when it was Biden, now all of a sudden those numbers can’t be trusted when Trump says so.

To that end, “this is really just a counting issue” and a measurement issue versus a red flag about the health of the labor market, Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, told CNN.

“160 million people have a job,” Slok said. ”Telling me that over the last 12 months it wasn’t 160 million, it was only 159.2 million is not making too much of a difference to how the Fed and financial markets are thinking about the economy.”

12 months? Guess who hasn't been in office 12 months. Cucky always wrong. Are you the Dazzerlers boy toy?

This thread certainly indicates which side of the aisle believes in accountability and responsibility.

Seems to me that the old gal had difficulty getting the numbers right, regardless of who is in power, and that's why she got fired. She sucked at her job last year, and still did this year, apparently.

The BLS report is always a survey at first and as more data filters in, it becomes more accurate. Again this is the gold standard.

Let me remind you, Trump cited nothing specific on why he thought the numbers were wrong. They were wrong because it painted him in a negative light that’s the real reason.

And the thing is, if he had played this smarter, he could have played this against Powell, but he didn’t have the foresight to do so.
