B-Man Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Who could have guessed that using the president's own name to brand the current economic malaise was a bad idea? To sum up the numbers, only 150,000 jobs were added in October. Of those, only 99,000 were in the private sector, once again showing that government spending is the only thing propping up what little is left of the economy. As to those "better than expected" numbers in August and September? They've been revised down by 101,000 jobs, the type of revision that has become all too common during the Biden administration. Overall, the unemployment rate rose to 3.9 percent, with thousands of manufacturing jobs being lost in the process https://redstate.com/bonchie/2023/11/03/bidenomics-chickens-come-home-to-roost-and-the-spin-is-hilarious-n2165851 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Callahan Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 To get a sense of just how manipulate the Establishment survey is, look no further than the divergence with the Household survey. It is safe to say that never in US history have payroll numbers been manipulated more. https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/household vs establishment_1.jpg?itok=EB_svpDl 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/14/cpi-inflation-report-october-2023.html. The consumer price index, which measures a broad basket of commonly used goods and services, was flat in October from the previous month but increased 3.2% from a year ago. Both were below Wall Street estimates. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, core CPI rose 0.2% and 4%, against the forecast of 0.3% and 4.1%. The annual rate was the smallest increase since September 2021. The flat reading on headline CPI came as energy prices declined 2.5% for the month, offsetting a 0.3% increase in the food index. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
