CTH: The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) released the December jobs report today [DATA HERE] showing 223,000 jobs gained in December ’22.
Most of the job growth was in the “leisure and hospitality” sector (+67,000), healthcare (+55,000), construction (+28,000) and social assistance (+20,000). Additionally, average hourly earnings rose by 0.3%, with a year-over-year measure of wage growth at 4.6%.
At this point in the history of our economic pretending game, we are well aware the employment numbers are heavily manipulated in order to support the government policymaking that is destroying the same workforce they claim to represent. It’s all a ruse, just look around your community and you will see what I am talking about. more
“…Additionally, average hourly earnings rose by 0.3%…”
…I’m hourly, and I got a REAL nice raise last year. We ALL did. They HAD to because everyone ELSE is offering serious coin at this point as well.
Pretty much every employer has to do the same thing.
There’s your wage bump.
…doesn’t really matter when it at best only OFFSETS the higher food, water, electricity, medical, etc. bills that the Democrat inflation is popping wallets everywhere. The only NICE thing is that my mortgage isn’t variable rate so on the CURRENT inflationay trend they will have to accept my wheelbarrow full of worthless money to pay it in full in a year or two whether they want to or not, even though what bought a HOUSE last year probably won’t buy a dog run NEXT year…
Who would believe any reports coming out of our BS government??? Haven’t you learned anything yet???
(Mel Brooks voice)….We have to say this to keep our phoney bolognay jobs….” HEY! I DIDN’T GET A HURRRRRUMPH OUT OF THAT GUY”….
Adjusted Down to come
Over 90 million Americans (28%) are on welfare and not working.
This labor report is bull shit. There are more jobs available than people willing to do them.
FJB
Don’t Worry;
Be Happy!
Methinks they got the decimal point in the wrong place.
If the economy’s so great, why can’t I get a job with 20+ years experience in my field!
Gee Wally it’s almost like Odumbo is still in charge exchanging two PT jobs for every FT job, oh wait….
