The layoffs subreddit thread is sad

We're in a Recession things will get worse before they get better. Jobs report this week should be telling.

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 142,000 in August, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.2 percent. Job gains occurred in construction and health care.

GDP growth rate is also holding at about 3%.

What exactly is "telling" about this?

You’re a moron.

So you're too stupid to tell me why then. Ok.

The numbers will be revised down more than likely. Just like with the 800K jobs that disappeared.


Yes, the Government Just Erased More Than 800,000 Jobs. Here's What It Means

fam teens 14-19 can't find jobs anywhere for a number of reasons. they have to resort to making youtube content and hit 10 subs before they can monetize.

You said the jobs report for this past week would be "telling".

I posted the past weeks' jobs report and GDP numbers, which don't appear to be bad at the moment.

The numbers may very well be adjusted, but it's funny how you pulled out this article from last month when you saw the jobs report wasn't as bad as you predicted.

Man I been doing contract work early on because of situations like this. Get a 6-12 month contract, and then find anotha one. Sometimes I be on 3 month contracts as well.

You do know July's jobs numbers were revised down? Quote me when August numbers aren't revised down also.


Now the new DNC economic talking point is GDP?

I'm literally just going off of what you said.

So would the jobs report only be accurate if it was bad?

If not, then is it fair to say that you might have jumped the gun a bit when you predicted a bad jobs report last week, and we should wait for the correction(s)?

Or should we not trust the jobs numbers at all?

I'm not even going to address the fact that you said "we're in a recession", when it's not clear you know what that even means (GDP growth is normal at the moment; a recession would be more than a few months of stagnant or negative GDP growth).

The job number of 142K is not good. No matter how much you try and spin it.

You're saying that jobs number was good. I said no such thing.

 

[Heretic]

LMAO do we work at the same job

I get raises for doing damn near nothing all day. It's actually very kushy lol

I'm with the Department of Energy. There's damn near 20,000 employees when they sent out the last listing and looking to hire more contractors and there's like 100k of those. They literally can't keep track of everybody.

It's not bad either. AFAIK it seems pretty normal.

You're saying that jobs number was good.

I said no such thing.

I'm simply refuting your statement of "We're in a Recession things will get worse before they get better."

By strict definition we're not in a recession. If the numbers are to be believed, unemployment is low and GDP growth is normal.

EDIT: It seems the root of your argument is the Biden Administration is lying about how good the economy is doing. Which you can't prove, because the numbers aren't on your side. (At least not yet.)

Man, reading the comments, people are just straight over this shyt. That ain’t Gen Z talking either.

I hope all these disgruntled cats all don't go into Nursing though, last thing I need is a bunch of people who aren't natural nurses doing this job.

If you want to do nursing because you genuinely care for people or to keep a legacy going, that's fine. If people are doing it because they're chasing the money or job security then I think they're going to get worn out.

I'll tell you, we had a job where we were required by the owner to use nothing but American made products and that is when I realizes the made in China/India/Mexico products are far better than the ones made here. Those American manufactured products were a pain in the ass to deal with at times.
