Aka, the numbers aren't accurate any longer...
Discussion
They were accurate before either, leftist fuck
Were they ever?
Everything the state says is a lie, so just negate whatever they've been saying at any one time and that's the truth lol
That statement defies evidence.
I'm no timeline would it make sense to put out fake numbers on purpose, only to be refutted by ADP, paycheck, the st Louis fed, and the underlying economy.
Their numbers get revised every month though and they were adjusted downward for 8 months in 2024.
Yes, and that didn't exactly help Biden/Kamala, did it? Nor does it now help Trump.
It's based on surveys, data isn't amazing. They are estimates. People lie, they get fired in the meantime, they move, and on and on.
Usually, they tend to revise down when an economy is shrinking in real terms, flat in flat economies, and upwards when economies are growing.
Here is an annual chart of the past 2 decades
I don't actually believe that literally every fed number is completely made up and untrue from every conceivable point of view. I use St. Louis fed data for economic research from time to time. It's called a joke. In truth, only **most** of what the state says is a lie, not all of it.
Yes. They are based on surveys. No partisan worker bees.
Who said there was anything partisan about it?
If you don't think it is a partisan lie, then why wouldn't they give accurate numbers if they had them? If they don't care one way or another who they help or hurt, they could just release accurate numbers.
But they don't have them, they are estimates. Obviously
> If they don't care one way or another who they help or hurt
Genuine question: do you assume that partisan issues are the only possible ones to determine who they privilege or transfer from or in what direction they might bias figures or scientific pronouncements? The government is more than just red squares and blue squares.
Not all, no. But in general, yes, I do.
What other possible reason could there be in this case? They look like morons to everyone, and it just got the top lady fired.
Nah, the real answer is you cannot anymore use old survey methods to measure the employment and jobs of 160 million workers, in a $27 trillion economy without full mass intervention and forced responses.
They're measuring and quoting the wrong empirical data in the first place, for a variety of reasons. Largely to keep the narrative going that the fed is needed to stabilize the economy. Unemployment figures is a grossly misleading term for what that figure actually measures, for example. They don't look like idiots to everyone, only to those people who do economics right.
And they're not idiots. It's very carefully constructed to avoid most people ever questioning the system, while keeping the system self sustaining within a gullible populace.
They're after their own wealth and prestige. Not that of a political party.
True, but in this case that's not what we are talking about. We are talking about survey data estimates and actual data post timeframe comparisons/revisions.
