     @deprecated_ii BLS just admitted they overestimated job growth by about 1 million over the last year or so. Makes you wonder how bad the real numbers are

     @DW2 @deprecated_ii To those who payed attention, they started fudging the numbers since covid. It's been imaginary numbers ever since.
