Why Should We Believe The Revised Job Numbers

[gab13by13]

We were told in October we lost 105,000 jobs, now the revised number is we lost 173,000 jobs.

November was also revised down by 8,000 50 56,000.

I'm no economist but I see factories, stores, and businesses shutting down scrolling across my home page. How many UPS workers were just let go?

I am going to get criticized for saying this but when a Democrat is president is the pattern the same, the revised numbers are always worse.

Something else, why should we believe the revised numbers, maybe they are off? Then I am supposed to believe that unemployment went down, WTF.

AI is replacing a lot of workers and Wall Street loves it.

One thing I can say with certainty is that job growth collapsed in the last quarter.

1. Because if they were lying why not make it look good

Instead of like a disaster?

Not like the Trump administration has any shame about giant lies.

2. any good economic news from maga demands skepticism

i tend to believe my own eyes.

the next dem will need to fire every one hired under trump or i will never believe an economic statistic again.

these people have even made the weather political.

3. Almost equal to the new number of ICE agents?

Coincidence?

5. There was an article couple months ago.

That they fudge the numbers so Trump’s won't get so upset. Basically so they won't get fired like that woman was for publishing true numbers.

6. For me

If it comes from any governement agency it is a lie.....I don't believe a thing they say anymore...

7. Trump is pouring huge American resources

I.E. deficit spending like you wouldn't believe, but in ways that create almost no jobs. This is horrific and totally unsustainable. It is likely to get worse as huge rate cuts start happening.

8. It is called revisionist history. We should expect more of it.
