Well they published numbers that were 140k higher than they should have been for both May and June and then corrected it the day after Powell refused to do rate cuts citing "strong job market" and paused until September.

They've been "revising" job numbers for a while now but have never done it quite that severely.

he is such a sore loser

anyways yeah. 250,000 jobs were fake numbers in two months.

revised gains of jobs from 170,000 to about 14,000 and about the same for another month.

Powell said the job market is resilient, hence no rate cuts.

She'll be fine.

Bad job numbers? Fire the people measuring them!

Next up :

Bad GDP growth? Fire the people measuring it!

Bad inflation? Fire the Federal Reserve!

Bad tourism rates? Fire the tourist industry!

No one wants to support America diplomatically? Fire The West!


Hey wasn't there a guy in a bunker who saw 10 Soviet armies surrounding his capital and he just fired and executed military commanders as if that would change anything???

Lower interest rates.

Why keep them so high?
