Yeah, this is all a straight up effort to make the whole economy SEEM better before the 2022 elections, to soften the red-blow to their power.

They can pull shit — including outright lying — to make things seem better — to people not Paying Attention.

I remember Obama’s employment charts from his last term that simply excluded people that had been laid off for too many years (my brother was one) – they had shrunk the pool they were referencing. There are help wanted signs at nearly every shop, store, gas station, fast food place, and restaurant where I live and have been for a year and a half. I could take pictures of 30 of them within a square mile of my house. The faces I do see working seem to change biweekly. I don’t buy this for a second.

Zerohedge’s writers aka “Tyler Durden” explain how jobs filled can go up, but not number of people who are working – it is the multiple part- or full-time jobs skewing the figures.

Lots of charts and graphs and numbers.

I was at Sam’s Club a few weeks ago and there were no carts inside the building. They said they didn’t have anybody to round them up and bring them in.

And the current U6 is lower than it was for all but about four months of the Trump presidency (9/19-12/19) and is flat from last month.

I’m not claiming that the economy is doing great or that these idiots in charge deserve any credit for the job market but people on the right are so attached to this narrative that they can’t accept that at least right now there are parts of the economy that aren’t doing that bad.

Focus on inflation and out of control spending that is where the problems are found.

CNBC isn’t making up the numbers sorry, jeez it’s BLS chart. The second piece I linked is by Jeff Cox who is a very balanced writer. He’s not a cheerleader but also not freaking out at every turn.

Of course they are biased but I’ll take them over something like Zero Hedge and their non stop apocalyptic articles.
