You think the economic world believes every dem or lib can’t be trusted and this dickbrain is somehow trust worthy. Enjoy the coming disaster. I just think it’s fun that you are unwound enough to play the c*nt and d*ck cards. You’re doing great!
All_Pro_Bills Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Trump's move was impulsive, and stupid, but very few people can articulate how these job numbers are produced. It's not a count. It's a statistical estimate produced by a model. You can produce any number you want based on the input assumptions the statistician makes. So the question you want to ask is what assumptions are you making about the economy and the job market? And judge their validity. If you want to know how many jobs are created just ask the IRS how many new W4 forms were submitted.

dgrochester55 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 (edited) It's a bad look for Trump for fire her right after the report, but it is a good riddance. The job market has been awful for the last two years, go to your favorite social media site and you can find at any given time numerous videos of people from all walks of life and career paths telling us how hard it is to find any job. Despite, this, we are being told that plenty of jobs were out there and the job market was better than ever. I believe that the job numbers given this week were accurate, but I also believe that she was covering this up for two years and tried the equivalent of the "What did you do!" scene with the car door in Tommy Boy to make it look like it was all at once and solely from the current administration. This makes it harder to see how Trump is really doing on this because the numbers are creating a different story from the reality (record number followed by a sudden plunge) Whether this was deliberate or not, it was not accurately reflecting the actual market to Americans. Regardless, we definitely need to find a new way to measure jobs that factors in people who ran out of unemployment, gave up searching, took side gig work or accepted a job well below the pay range that they would other be qualified for.

I know it’s too much to ask to hope he would move away from this sort of behavior (the declarations on Truth Social), but I wish he would. Political appointees are what they are, and if he wanted her gone and she serves at his discretion, terminate and move on. I have no doubt that data can or would be manipulated, or that people in government would cook the books for any number of reasons. Announce a change, terminate the appointee and move on. He’ll be criticized either way, but at the end of the day, she’s a Biden holdover. 3

If there's anybody I can trust with numbers it's Donald Trump. Ironically, the Fed is more likely to lower interest rate because of the job numbers. 1

Problem with that is whoever they appoint will now have to worry about losing their job if the monthly jobs report isn't favorable to the president. People don't like losing their job. It's why it's smart for any new president to just cut bait with any part of the old administration immediately after taking office. 1

Not so sure it's that they have to worry about losing their job it the report is unfavorable; more so they have to worry about losing their job it their initial estimate ends up getting significantly revised consistently in the next 2 quarters. The initial jobs reports have been wildly inaccurate since she took over in 2022. Hate the way 47 made it look like he's canning her for not giving him results that are favorable to him because she actually has been giving initial reports that were favorable to him (at least the last 2 months) and she did that consistently for 46 as well. If he nominates someone for that post that actually starts getting the estimates close to correct, that would be beneficial. Time will tell if he does or not. 1
