***DISTRACTION*** Jobs numbers are going to be horrible tomorrow.

Last edited Fri Jun 6, 2025, 04:08 PM - Edit history (1)

NOTE: May jobs numbers come in stronger than expected BUT last two reports were revised down signifying downward trend.

So ... not a distraction just two whiney ass billionaires whining at each other.

***DISTRACTION*** Jobs numbers are going to be horrible tomorrow.

I'm putting 7$ on the jobs numbers tomorrow being extra shitty seeing ADP came in only 1/3 of expectations; 37k vs 110k est

A bad jobs numbers will confirm the US consumer tapping out will have more than just "sentiment" behind it but less hiring then eve less buying.

This will also confirm stock market is inflated cause it's priced like effects from Trump's aren't going to show up

Putin's Puppet is the master distractor ... watch jobs numbers

Because he wants Jerome to cut interest rates which will weaken the dollar.

Krasnov has 1 economic goal, to weaken the dollar and strengthen Crypto, that’s how he made 3 billion dollars this year.

Bad jobs numbers will give Krasnov the argument with Jerome Powell to cut interest rates, which will also weaken the dollar.

Why are people analyzing Krasnov in relation to the country? Krasnov only does stuff to enrich Krasnov.

That includes Trump. There is no indication standard release protocol has been broken. I know people who work on this program at BLS and most would resign if the integrity of the data is breached. It may happen at some time, but it hasn't happened yet.

and replaced them with Magats. The problem is that they can create havoc in the ability to analyze the numbers, cause confusion in the way they get to the final numbers.

There are plenty of good people in those agencies but there will be pressure put on them to put out the numbers Krasnov wants or be fired.

There are already economists questioning the latest inflation report.

would resign before changing numbers. Fact is, that has NOT happened so it's a moot point for now. It could happen at some point but it hasn't happened yet. And that means, nobody has seen the jobs report numbers to be released tomorrow at 8:30 am except the handful of people who are responsible for publishing the release. I GUARANTEE IT!

And no, Trump's people can NOT cause confusion in the way they get to the final numbers. You obviously ha NO CLUE how that survey program works. I DO! I worked on it for almost 35 years!

On Linkedin analytic jobs in the insurance industry have over 100+ people applying. That doesn't even include the likely duplicate posting on Indeed.

One of my mentee's said he would hire me in an instant, but doesn't have anything as they laid off half the company.

And old manager says he walks into the office everyday wondering if its his last. Said if he survives until the end of the year, he's going to retire early. The stress and grey hair is just too much.

Insurance mill companies (they sell several companies in auto) are hiring like crazy because people are looking to reduce their auto insurance bill. Soon as I move, one of them told me to just give them a call. So I could do that during the day and go after my Master's online afterwards.

AS I made clear, NOBODY sees those numbers before they are released at 8:30 am on Friday except for a handful of BLS employees involved in drafting the release.
