Another assumption about this that is pure BS.. is that there some sort of top down management from the President or Congress. Each state has a CES analyst and what do they do... add in one column (interstate liable UI Claims). I know.. boring. At the national level, they plug data into two columns (survey results and interstate liable UI Claims) and then the model spits out 346 values (broken down by industry). This idea that someone at the top gives the directive to fudge the numbers is a sign that someone knows nothing about the process. The inputs that change each month.. are public knowledge and have to sum up to the whole.

Still can't address your previous lies I take it.

Well there you go. I guess you're more interested in spreading this information than you are addressing points or having a conversation. Typical lefty

Every year the BLS adjusts the data from the survey based on state unemployment insurance (UI) filings which have data from nearly every employer in the country. These UI filings are a near census for all payroll employment. If the UI data gives a different picture than the survey of employers, then the filings are almost certainly right and BLS revises it data accordingly.

Notices how all the job creation is in low paying services? The jobs democrats create are never the jobs you want.

Your graph doesn't show ^this. VERY FEW jobs created are the "LOWER PAYING SERVICES" and NONE in Jul 2024.

You need to get your eyes checked. LMAO

You are reading the Services (High Paying) line. The Services (Low Paying) line is where the lion share of job growth was.

The data is CES in the chart above is CES so first, it is an estimate not a count. Second, there is a reason why on a month to month basis.. the highest job gains are going to be in restaurant, hotel, personal services, and retail. It is no grand conspiracy.. 

It isn't a conspiracy. It is data that shows job growth isn't in the best fields.

I know your types.. the reason that employment in sectors other than manufacturing/mining/construction grows (in absolute terms) less than "services" on a month to month basis is because someone in DC is pulling levers and playing puppeteer.

You have quite the inflated view of politicians. Seriously.. you think that they are this smart?  If so, you need to work with one. It has to do with the nature of the industries. Opening a new restaurant or expanding your staff is a whole lot easier than opening a new mine.

Lol...so much for being impartial.

But, no. I am a facts and data guy. The data shows that manufacturing and other better paying jobs are not growing.

The reason those jobs aren't growing is because businesses borrow to create those jobs (typically). Interest rates are still high, so borrowing is tougher. That creates headwinds which causes job growth to slow.

That isn't my opinion. That is how the economy works. It is also something I have been saying since we started raising interest rates. Our problem was supply met with a huge cash demand. High interest rates were never going to stop inflation. Rather, high interest rates increased inflation by slowing recovery of supply.

That opinion needs an asterisk. At 2.0 to 2.5% bonds started seeing increased demand. That did help with the printed money portion of the inflation. After that, it was all harm to supply.

Back to jobs. Jobs are down because we raised the rates so far that it hindered growth. All we have to do is drop the interest rate (incrimentally) to 2.5% and jobs will recover.

Been around the block long enough to sniff out your types. Jobs are down.. what time period? 

july 2024 (seasonally adjusted) 158723000

june 2024 (seasonally adjusted) 158609000.

Do some simple math.. the top number is greater than the bottom.

Good paying jobs growth is slowing down. Growth has slowed.

Can you quantitatively delineate what is a good job? No opinions or links. Lets see something mathematically driven that shows what is good and what is not. You also know that CES is not the best data source...

Oh look who's back shilling for the dems. 

We're talking about the jobs the dems "created".  this is THEIR claim mind you - that biden had the bestest job growth ever in all of space time. 

And the reality is that gov't jobs got a major boost (thanks gov't spending!) and low end retail jobs got a boost.  Which means the job growth wasn't terribly great.  Hey, it's still growth but it's pretty lackluster. 

Careful, you're hypocrisy is showing.

Sure.  A job that provides better than current average earnings and benefits (health. pension) sufficient for soemone to live a high mid or upper middle class lifestyle while still  providing room for modest savings with a reasonable career path for future growth that is stable and still provides for a reasonable work life balance.

Hint - MacDonald's fails.  Oh - which reminds me - "Must not have to blow the boss to advance". 

The closer a job comes to meeting that criteria, the more you can say it's a 'good job'.  Wasn't all that hard was it.

I've known and worked with a few. Which is exactly why I suspect deviouness.

Look, I'm not going down some rabbit hole because you have a personal preference. The data is what the data is. Don't like it? Give us the data you like. You've been real vocale about that chart being wrong so show us what is so perfect in your eyes.

It takes intelligence, foresight, planning in order to orchestrate something like this. the ones that I have worked with have a difficult time understanding the difference between seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted data. Not that complex and yet they fumble all over themselves.

Childish to think that all politicians are brainless. I'm sure some are I know some aren't. Many are pretty intelligent people just like any people. 

People who say that all politicians are stupid are generally speaking the same who might say there's liars, damn liars, and staticians :)  sooooo.....
