There is clearly a serious problem at the BLS, long before now

[Grokmaster]

Unemployment has ticked up to 5.7%

Lie. It is at 4.2%
~ The current unemployment rate in the U.S. is 4.2%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This rate has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 4.0% and 4.2% since May 2024. In July 2025, the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.2%, while the number of unemployed individuals was approximately 7.2 million.


Makeup some more nonsense.

Your idiocy is a serious problem for you.

What an awesome response! You're showing just what leftists can muster when their thought-masters really put their minds to it.

The Trumpy powers are working hard on training Maxwell. She will say exactly what they want. Can you imagine them moving a child sex trafficker to a minimum jail? She is also a perjurist. She is brokering her testimony bigly. Trump will pardon her.

LOL. It's so FUNNY to see you scream and cry and stamp your widdle feet all because Trump couldn't handle the numbers HE CREATED.

LOL.

Standard issue pussy beta cucks.

 

[IBDaMann]

Lie. It is at 4.2%

Totally meaningless. First you have to say for what definition that number applies, then you have wait and see how it is adjusted retroactively in a few week's time to meet Deep State narrative requirements.

 

[IBDaMann]

Trump will pardon her.

I see you are still trying to get something right. Let's see if you finally succeed.

Get a clue, and stop with them nonstop TDS lies...= why you and yours got kicked to the curb...


US Q2 2025 Economic Report Overview

• Real GDP saw a rebound, increasing at an annual rate of 3.0% after a 0.5% decrease in the first quarter.
• Driving Factors: This rebound was largely attributed to a significant decrease in imports and a rise in consumer spending, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
• Underlying Trends: However, some analysts suggest that while the headline GDP number was strong, the underlying domestic demand was weaker, growing at a muted average rate of 1.2% in the first half of the year.
• Consumer Spending: Increased by 1.4% in the second quarter, better than the 0.5% in the prior period.
• Inflation: Headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed an upward trend, reaching 2.7% in June, partly due to base effects from 2024. However, core inflation (excluding food and energy) remained relatively stable and was slightly above the Federal Reserve's target rate, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (.gov).
• Employment: The labor market remained healthy in Q2, with monthly job growth picking up and the unemployment rate holding low (averaging 4.2% in the second quarter).
• Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve, amidst mixed macroeconomic signals, maintained the federal funds rate at a target range of 4.25% to 4.50% at its May and July meetings.

In summary, Q2 2025 saw a rebound in economic growth driven by trade dynamics and consumer spending, though some underlying weaknesses in domestic demand were present. The labor market remained healthy while inflation showed some signs of moderation. The Federal Reserve Board (.gov) maintained a cautious approach on interest rates, awaiting further clarity on economic trends.

Unemployment has ticked up to 5.7%

More jobs are going to Americans

So, you want them to hire someone who will delay the report.

Good luck w/ that.

But why is it a problem that a report gets revised once they have all of the data? I don't mind getting a more preliminary report, and then a complete report at a later date. Nothing is "wrong." The only reason you're even thinking about this is because Trump had a temper tantrum.

What is wrong with waiting till you have accurate numbers . Maybe the BLS needs to improve their data collection methods. That is better than companies making decisions based on a deeply flawed jobs report. New leadership can fix that.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

There has to be a better system...this one is obviously very flawed.. I read the link, which is why I'm saying it's obviously flawed the way it's set up...there's no point in putting out numbers that really don't mean anything...

The numbers do mean something. They are an attempt to tell us what the employment is.
You seem confused as to why the numbers are not as accurate as you want them to be.
What the numbers actually reflect is how many people are working. That number is about 168,000,000. The number of people working is then compared to the previous months number of people working. The difference between those two numbers is the number of jobs added or lost.

If one month the numbers say there were 168,000,000 people working and the next month the numbers say there are 168,250,000 people working that shows a 250,000 increase in jobs month to month. But if you can do the math, you will realize that 250,000 is 0.15% of the total people working. If the next month, the number is revised to only 125,000 jobs added then it means that the original numbers were only 99.95% accurate instead of being 99.999% accurate.

(When I develop an IEP for a student, if the psychologist and a few others who have critical input don't respond in a timely manner, should I just make things up? And change it later if they ever get back to me? Or if they're sick, on vacation, don't know they have to report, or just forget, or lie to get me to stop reminding them the info is due, should I just continue to write the evaluation according to what particular mood I'm in that day?)

When you develop an IEP for 100,000,000 students do you refuse to do any IEP if you only have the data for 99,950,000 students? Do you tell your boss, you refuse to do it until you get all the information even though you will be 99.95% accurate without that information?
If you have 99.9% of the data you need for one student, do you refuse to do the IEP until you get that last 0.1% of the questions answered?

Feel free to tell us how you propose you would get 99.999% of the jobs data every month. I'm sure BLS would be happy to do it if you can provide such a way.

Says gmark77 from the comfort of his padded cell while wearing his favorite straightjacket.

The economy has been getting better and better, totally altering budget discussions. The Federal government is anticipating an additional $300 billion of 2025 tariff income. This is great news. American businesses are being protected and the American economy is being bolstered by manufacturing that is being brought to the US to avoid tariffs. This is even better news. More money for everyone.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Wrong; they were ding huge revisions then.

Since when is 1/10th of 1% a huge revision?

 

[Noking]

What an awesome response! You're showing just what leftists can muster when their thought-masters really put their minds to it.

Oh dear me,

 

[IBDaMann]

Since when is 1/10th of 1% a huge revision?

Since when is 1/10th of 1% enough to make you legally intoxicated?

 

[IBDaMann]

It was a compliment; you should be celebrating, not weeping.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Since when is 1/10th of 1% enough to make you legally intoxicated?

I guess you are so drunk you don't know the meaning of the word revision.

BLS counts the total number of jobs, not percent of alcohol. If BLS said there were 168,250,000 jobs but there were really 168,000,000 what percent were they off by? How statistically significant is that?

 

[BartenderElite]

What is wrong with waiting till you have accurate numbers . Maybe the BLS needs to improve their data collection methods. That is better than companies making decisions based on a deeply flawed jobs report. New leadership can fix that.

No. They probably can't fix that.

But I'm glad you're at least not claiming that this process was politically rigged, like Trump is.

 

[Noking]

It was a compliment; you should be celebrating, not weeping.

Well, that makes me feel much better.

 

[IBDaMann]

I guess you are so drunk you don't know the meaning of the word revision.

I guess you are so uneducated that you don't know that you were emphasizing quantity.

BLS counts the total number of jobs, not percent of alcohol.

Poor Richard Saunders gibbers that 1/10th of 1% is too small to matter. Then he desperately tries to pivot when shown to be egregiously in error.

If BLS said there were 168,250,000 jobs but there were really 168,000,000 what percent were they off by? How statistically significant is that?

Thank you for making my point for me.

 

[FastLane]

No. They probably can't fix that.

Never said anything even remotely like that. Are you feeling OK?
