    Such as: <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-labor-force-participation-rate.htm>

    It shows that the Labor Force Participation Rate was 61.3% when Trump left office and
    Biden took over .. and it has since climbed up to 62.8%

    Granted, I do happen believe that that % is probably going to fall, due to the end last month
    of the CoVid era child care services Federal support, which will make it more expensive
    for two income families to continue to both work, but time will tell just how much damage
    that Republican “austerity” cutback will hurt American families, as that market hadn’t healed.

    Tommy’s simply shopping for the narrative he wants. I did read the quick article and
    from a data analysis standpoint, the problem it has is that the author has made some
    specific assumptions about the data collection to make their claim, which is not
    actually supported. One needs to dive much deeper into the weeds of the *actual*
    data collection to know if their assumption is correct or not, and that part of this
    necessarily analysis is not present or even mentioned. As such, the absolute best
    condition is an “incomplete”, but any data analysis pro would have not then made
    any concessionary-type claim. TL;DR: poorly done, author is hiding an agenda.

    Oh, and in the meantime, the reason for Tommy repeating a spin attempt becomes clear:

    Presser, 7 Oct 23:

    US Employment report

    New Jobs: 336K vs 170K expected (!)

    Unemployment rate: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected

    Hourly earnings up 0.2% versus 0.3% expected (still ahead of inflation)

    BONUS:
    Revisions ADDED another 119K jobs

    But there's MORE to what the article claimed, right Sunshine?

    They claim that earlier reports had a different figure.

    Can you substantiate that?

    I "substantiated" what you asked for, so FUCK YOU!!!!

    Nope.

    Because the original article compares what they claim are previous figures with current figures.

    That remains unsubstantiated.
    Plus even if one wants to use U6, there’s still the observation that the current
    U6 rate isn’t substantially high compared to historical norms .. indeed, U6 is
    near historical lows .. so how is this a “bad” thing?

    < https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/U6RATE>

    Oh, and in the meantime, the reason for Tommy repeating a spin attempt becomes clear:

    Presser, 7 Oct 23:

    US Employment report

    New Jobs: 336K vs 170K expected (!)

    Unemployment rate: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected

    Hourly earnings up 0.2% versus 0.3% expected (still ahead of inflation)

    BONUS:
    Revisions ADDED another 119K jobs

    And because Tommy's OP troll is obviously a partisan one:

    "Job growth during the last 3 GOP Presidencies averaged 10,000 a month, 120,000 a year over 16 years.

    Last month 336,000 jobs were created. That would be almost 3 years of job growth under Republicans. In a single month."

    And we should listen to this guy...

    ...why exactly?

    Have you got another more authoritative source?

    Hey Fool, this stuff ALL comes out of BLS.GOV - is that "authoritative" enough for you?
    So produce THOSE sources, Sunshine.

    So, you are TOO LAZY to look it up for yourself, sunshine? Ok, this ONE TIME I will do it for you:
    https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm
    Notice that the TOTAL unemployed is SEVEN POINT ONE PERCENT, EXACTLY what the article stated!
    But there's MORE to what the article claimed, right Sunshine? >>>>>>>>>>
    They claim that earlier reports had a different figure.

    Can you substantiate that?

    I "substantiated" what you asked for, so FUCK YOU!!!!

    Nope.

    Because the original article compares what they claim are previous >>>>>>>> figures with current figures.

    That remains unsubstantiated.
    Plus even if one wants to use U6, there’s still the observation that the current
    U6 rate isn’t substantially high compared to historical norms .. indeed, U6 is
    near historical lows .. so how is this a “bad” thing?

    < https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/U6RATE>

    Oh, and in the meantime, the reason for Tommy repeating a spin attempt becomes clear:

    Presser, 7 Oct 23:

    US Employment report

    New Jobs: 336K vs 170K expected (!)

    Unemployment rate: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected

    Hourly earnings up 0.2% versus 0.3% expected (still ahead of inflation) >>>>>>
    BONUS:
    Revisions ADDED another 119K jobs
    And because Tommy's OP troll is obviously a partisan one:

    "Job growth during the last 3 GOP Presidencies averaged 10,000 a month, 120,000 a year over 16 years.

    Last month 336,000 jobs were created. That would be almost 3 years of job growth under Republicans. In a single month."

    <https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1710348690093670507>


    -hh

    And do you KNOW where the job growth came from, Lyin' Asshole???

    Why would that matter?
    Because Tommy wants say something 'not nice' about NJ or something like that.

    In contrast to Tommy, wealthy investors know how to look at market opportunities by sectors
    and other relevant metrics...for which the Government is helpful in providing date, case in point:

    "Graphics for Economic News Releases
    Employment by industry, monthly changes"

    Presser, 7 Oct 23:

    US Employment report

    New Jobs: 336K vs 170K expected (!)

    Unemployment rate: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected

    Hourly earnings up 0.2% versus 0.3% expected (still ahead of inflation)

    Of course not!

    You're a coward.

    Always have been.

    If you have a point...

    ...make it.

    The funny part is that even his implied conspiracy theory in his earlier posts on this thread
    has been debunked (e.g. that it is significant that the last seven revisions have all been down)
    because this past month's report's revision to prior months was up .. and by a hefty +119K jobs.

    So perhaps Tommy can explain this 180 reversal in revisions trend. I'll give him a head start:

    a) The Over/Under revisions have been just statistically random chance all along: nothing
    to see here but the rants of loony conspiracy theorists who don't understand statistics;

    b) The initial monthly data collection process is known to over-estimate, so having more
    downward revisions than upwards (and why the revisions process exists) is very normal.
    Again, nothing to see here and this again illustrates that conspiracy theorists who are lazy
    and don't research the details in the weeds will falsely find things to try to rant about;

    c) The end-of-Quarter data collection & reporting process are different down in the weeds,
    basically representing better data. This effectively means that the significance wasn't really
    "7 in a row" of months, but more like just two (2) more accurate quarterly reports being in the
    same direction, which makes this a far more statistically normal variance occurrence and
    again something that bad-at-analytical-analysis conspiracy theorists come up short on;

    d) It really was a conspiracy! /s The Fed had been sandbagging the numbers. Why? Well
    they wanted to keep consumer confidence low (for TBD reasons): they unwound it because
    they realized that they've been caught by this 'celebrity' investor Peter Schiff, who is actually a
    highly honest man with no grudges despite his public comments and how his Puerto Rican bank
    was caught up in the world’s biggest tax evasion probe in 2020 .. or something like that /s;

    e) Some other clearly more plausible explanation that Tommy will have to provide.

    That remains unsubstantiated.
    Plus even if one wants to use U6, there’s still the observation that the current

    Oh, and in the meantime, the reason for Tommy repeating a spin attempt becomes clear:

    Presser, 7 Oct 23:

    US Employment report

    New Jobs: 336K vs 170K expected (!)

    Unemployment rate: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected

    Hourly earnings up 0.2% versus 0.3% expected (still ahead of inflation)

    BONUS:
    Revisions ADDED another 119K jobs
    And because Tommy's OP troll is obviously a partisan one: >>>>>>>
    "Job growth during the last 3 GOP Presidencies averaged 10,000 a month, 120,000 a year over 16 years.

    Last month 336,000 jobs were created. That would be almost 3 years of job growth under Republicans. In a single month."

    <https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1710348690093670507> >>>>>>>

    -hh

    And do you KNOW where the job growth came from, Lyin' Asshole???

    Why would that matter?
    Because Tommy wants say something 'not nice' about NJ or something like that.

    In contrast to Tommy, wealthy investors know how to look at market opportunities by sectors
    and other relevant metrics...for which the Government is helpful in providing date, case in point:

    "Graphics for Economic News Releases
    Employment by industry, monthly changes"

    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    -hh

    LOL! The libtards CAN'T answer a simple question!!
    Answer my question about why yours matters first.

    :-)

    No, Fool, not playing that game

    Of course not!

    You're a coward.

    Always have been.

    If you have a point...

    ...make it.
    The funny part is that even his implied conspiracy theory in his earlier posts on this thread
    has been debunked (e.g. that it is significant that the last seven revisions have all been down)
    because this past month's report's revision to prior months was up .. and by a hefty +119K jobs.

    So perhaps Tommy can explain this 180 reversal in revisions trend. I'll give him a head start:

    a) The Over/Under revisions have been just statistically random chance all along: nothing
    to see here but the rants of loony conspiracy theorists who don't understand statistics;

    b) The initial monthly data collection process is known to over-estimate, so having more
    downward revisions than upwards (and why the revisions process exists) is very normal.
    Again, nothing to see here and this again illustrates that conspiracy theorists who are lazy
    and don't research the details in the weeds will falsely find things to try to rant about;

    c) The end-of-Quarter data collection & reporting process are different down in the weeds,
    basically representing better data. This effectively means that the significance wasn't really
    "7 in a row" of months, but more like just two (2) more accurate quarterly reports being in the
    same direction, which makes this a far more statistically normal variance occurrence and
    again something that bad-at-analytical-analysis conspiracy theorists come up short on;

    d) It really was a conspiracy! /s The Fed had been sandbagging the numbers. Why? Well
    they wanted to keep consumer confidence low (for TBD reasons): they unwound it because
    they realized that they've been caught by this 'celebrity' investor Peter Schiff, who is actually a
    highly honest man with no grudges despite his public comments and how his Puerto Rican bank
    was caught up in the world’s biggest tax evasion probe in 2020 .. or something like that /s;

    e) Some other clearly more plausible explanation that Tommy will have to provide.

    -hh
    LOL! Ok, you libtards COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT!! Well, here it is: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t08.htm
    The employment GAINS were 402,000 in GOVERNMENT employees, while private industry had a LOSS of SEVENTY THOUSAND!!! Take home point: the economy SHRANK based on private employment numbers.
    Nope.

    Govt jobs growth was just 73K of the +336K MoM employment gain.

    WRONG: read the fucking report, Lyin' Asshole.

    The funny part is that even his implied conspiracy theory in his earlier posts on this thread
    has been debunked (e.g. that it is significant that the last seven revisions have all been down)
    because this past month's report's revision to prior months was up .. and by a hefty +119K jobs.

    So perhaps Tommy can explain this 180 reversal in revisions trend. I'll give him a head start:

    a) The Over/Under revisions have been just statistically random chance all along: nothing
    to see here but the rants of loony conspiracy theorists who don't understand statistics;

    b) The initial monthly data collection process is known to over-estimate, so having more
    downward revisions than upwards (and why the revisions process exists) is very normal.
    Again, nothing to see here and this again illustrates that conspiracy theorists who are lazy
    and don't research the details in the weeds will falsely find things to try to rant about;

    c) The end-of-Quarter data collection & reporting process are different down in the weeds,
    basically representing better data. This effectively means that the significance wasn't really
    "7 in a row" of months, but more like just two (2) more accurate quarterly reports being in the
    same direction, which makes this a far more statistically normal variance occurrence and
    again something that bad-at-analytical-analysis conspiracy theorists come up short on;

    d) It really was a conspiracy! /s The Fed had been sandbagging the numbers. Why? Well
    they wanted to keep consumer confidence low (for TBD reasons): they unwound it because
    they realized that they've been caught by this 'celebrity' investor Peter Schiff, who is actually a
    highly honest man with no grudges despite his public comments and how his Puerto Rican bank
    was caught up in the world’s biggest tax evasion probe in 2020 .. or something like that /s;

    e) Some other clearly more plausible explanation that Tommy will have to provide.

    -hh
    LOL! Ok, you libtards COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT!! Well, here it is: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t08.htm
    The employment GAINS were 402,000 in GOVERNMENT employees, while private
    industry had a LOSS of SEVENTY THOUSAND!!! Take home point: the economy
    SHRANK based on private employment numbers.

    Nope.

    Govt jobs growth was just 73K of the +336K MoM employment gain.

    WRONG: read the fucking report, Lyin' Asshole.
    I did, and nowhere does it say “402,000” or equivalent.

    Feel free to quote where that is listed in your cite.

    FYI, the +73K comes from the BLS cite I previously provided; the exact value requires
    you to click on the link to go to the Table data instead of eyeballing off the chart.


    You HAVE to do simple arithmetic, Lyin' Asshole:
    21,601,000 - 21,199,000 = 402,000

    Yet your math contradicts what BLS has published here:

    < https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    which suggests you’re doing something wrong in your numbers.

    FYI, the above cite also says that the only sector which didn’t have MoM jobs gain
    in September was Sector 7 (“Information”): all others had positive gains, which is
    contrary to your narrative attempt.

    And why did Sector 7 have a decline? Well, it is the sector for writers & actors,
    who are on strike.

    LOL! Ok, you libtards COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT!! Well, here it is: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t08.htm
    The employment GAINS were 402,000 in GOVERNMENT employees, while private
    industry had a LOSS of SEVENTY THOUSAND!!! Take home point: the economy
    SHRANK based on private employment numbers.

    Nope.

    Govt jobs growth was just 73K of the +336K MoM employment gain.

    WRONG: read the fucking report, Lyin' Asshole.
    I did, and nowhere does it say “402,000” or equivalent.

    Feel free to quote where that is listed in your cite.

    FYI, the +73K comes from the BLS cite I previously provided; the exact value requires
    you to click on the link to go to the Table data instead of eyeballing off the chart.


    You HAVE to do simple arithmetic, Lyin' Asshole:
    21,601,000 - 21,199,000 = 402,000
    Yet your math contradicts what BLS has published here:

    < https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    which suggests you’re doing something wrong in your numbers.

    FYI, the above cite also says that the only sector which didn’t have MoM jobs gain
    in September was Sector 7 (“Information”): all others had positive gains, which is
    contrary to your narrative attempt.

    And why did Sector 7 have a decline? Well, it is the sector for writers & actors,
    who are on strike.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, those aren't MY numbers, they are BLS numbers. So, YOU need to explain the differences.

    You did that after you mixed BLS values from different sources.

    Oh, and in the meantime, the reason for Tommy repeating a spin attempt becomes clear:

    Presser, 7 Oct 23:

    US Employment report

    New Jobs: 336K vs 170K expected (!)

    Unemployment rate: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected

    Hourly earnings up 0.2% versus 0.3% expected (still ahead of inflation)

    BONUS:
    Revisions ADDED another 119K jobs
    And because Tommy's OP troll is obviously a partisan one:

    "Job growth during the last 3 GOP Presidencies averaged 10,000 a month, 120,000 a year over 16 years.

    Last month 336,000 jobs were created. That would be almost 3 years of job growth under Republicans. In a single month."

    <https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1710348690093670507>


    -hh

    And do you KNOW where the job growth came from, Lyin' Asshole???

    Why would that matter?
    Because Tommy wants say something 'not nice' about NJ or something like that.

    In contrast to Tommy, wealthy investors know how to look at market opportunities by sectors
    and other relevant metrics...for which the Government is helpful in providing date, case in point:

    "Graphics for Economic News Releases
    Employment by industry, monthly changes"

    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    -hh

    LOL! The libtards CAN'T answer a simple question!!
    Answer my question about why yours matters first.

    :-)

    No, Fool, not playing that game

    Of course not!

    You're a coward.

    Always have been.

    If you have a point...

    ...make it.
    The funny part is that even his implied conspiracy theory in his earlier posts on this thread
    has been debunked (e.g. that it is significant that the last seven revisions have all been down)
    because this past month's report's revision to prior months was up .. and by a hefty +119K jobs.

    So perhaps Tommy can explain this 180 reversal in revisions trend. I'll give him a head start:

    a) The Over/Under revisions have been just statistically random chance all along: nothing
    to see here but the rants of loony conspiracy theorists who don't understand statistics;

    b) The initial monthly data collection process is known to over-estimate, so having more
    downward revisions than upwards (and why the revisions process exists) is very normal.
    Again, nothing to see here and this again illustrates that conspiracy theorists who are lazy
    and don't research the details in the weeds will falsely find things to try to rant about;

    c) The end-of-Quarter data collection & reporting process are different down in the weeds,
    basically representing better data. This effectively means that the significance wasn't really
    "7 in a row" of months, but more like just two (2) more accurate quarterly reports being in the
    same direction, which makes this a far more statistically normal variance occurrence and
    again something that bad-at-analytical-analysis conspiracy theorists come up short on;

    d) It really was a conspiracy! /s The Fed had been sandbagging the numbers. Why? Well
    they wanted to keep consumer confidence low (for TBD reasons): they unwound it because
    they realized that they've been caught by this 'celebrity' investor Peter Schiff, who is actually a
    highly honest man with no grudges despite his public comments and how his Puerto Rican bank
    was caught up in the world’s biggest tax evasion probe in 2020 .. or something like that /s;

    e) Some other clearly more plausible explanation that Tommy will have to provide.

    You HAVE to do simple arithmetic, Lyin' Asshole:
    21,601,000 - 21,199,000 = 402,000
    Yet your math contradicts what BLS has published here:

    < https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    which suggests you’re doing something wrong in your numbers.

    FYI, the above cite also says that the only sector which didn’t have MoM jobs gain

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, those aren't MY numbers, they are BLS numbers. So, YOU need to explain the differences.

    Already have: BLS didn’t publish your claim that all segments except Govt were doen.
    You did that after you mixed BLS values from different sources.

    That’s why your claim conflicts with BLS’s.

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, I didn't "mix" anything: that was Table A8 right out of BLS' report w/o ANY modification.
    It clearly shows gov't employment UP by 402,000 and private DOWN by 70,000.

    But you've not shown why your DIY derivation is *contradicted* by the above BLS link for the same month.

    FYI, here's the link again in case you try to be lazy/dodge:

    "Employment by industry, September 2023, Seasonally Adjusted, 1-month net change"

    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    This BLS page shows that all industries grew, except as I noted for 'Information' for both the 1-month & 3-month views.

    One has to go to the 6- and 12-month views to find _any_ other sector with a job loss, which is limited to just one
    industry segment, namely 'Transportation & Warehousing', and its decline is like -0.5%: nowhere near large enough
    to flip the entire 'private' segment negative as you're trying to claim.

    FYI, this is an unambiguous contradiction to your claim. It is also why it is wise to go through the entire official
    report to find where they've already answered the specific sub-question is you're looking for an answer on, rather
    than try to make mistakes with your DIY.

    Oh, and in the meantime, the reason for Tommy repeating a spin attempt becomes clear:

    Presser, 7 Oct 23:

    US Employment report

    New Jobs: 336K vs 170K expected (!)

    Unemployment rate: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected >>>>>>>>
    Hourly earnings up 0.2% versus 0.3% expected (still ahead of inflation)

    BONUS:
    Revisions ADDED another 119K jobs
    And because Tommy's OP troll is obviously a partisan one:

    "Job growth during the last 3 GOP Presidencies averaged 10,000 a month, 120,000 a year over 16 years.

    Last month 336,000 jobs were created. That would be almost 3 years of job growth under Republicans. In a single month."

    <https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1710348690093670507>


    -hh

    And do you KNOW where the job growth came from, Lyin' Asshole???

    Why would that matter?
    Because Tommy wants say something 'not nice' about NJ or something like that.

    In contrast to Tommy, wealthy investors know how to look at market opportunities by sectors
    and other relevant metrics...for which the Government is helpful in providing date, case in point:

    "Graphics for Economic News Releases
    Employment by industry, monthly changes"

    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    -hh

    LOL! The libtards CAN'T answer a simple question!! >> Answer my question about why yours matters first. >>
    :-)

    No, Fool, not playing that game

    Of course not!

    You're a coward.

    Always have been.

    If you have a point...

    ...make it.
    The funny part is that even his implied conspiracy theory in his earlier posts on this thread
    has been debunked (e.g. that it is significant that the last seven revisions have all been down)
    because this past month's report's revision to prior months was up .. and by a hefty +119K jobs.

    So perhaps Tommy can explain this 180 reversal in revisions trend. I'll give him a head start:

    a) The Over/Under revisions have been just statistically random chance all along: nothing
    to see here but the rants of loony conspiracy theorists who don't understand statistics;

    b) The initial monthly data collection process is known to over-estimate, so having more
    downward revisions than upwards (and why the revisions process exists) is very normal.
    Again, nothing to see here and this again illustrates that conspiracy theorists who are lazy
    and don't research the details in the weeds will falsely find things to try to rant about;

    c) The end-of-Quarter data collection & reporting process are different down in the weeds,
    basically representing better data. This effectively means that the significance wasn't really
    "7 in a row" of months, but more like just two (2) more accurate quarterly reports being in the
    same direction, which makes this a far more statistically normal variance occurrence and
    again something that bad-at-analytical-analysis conspiracy theorists come up short on;

    d) It really was a conspiracy! /s The Fed had been sandbagging the numbers. Why? Well
    they wanted to keep consumer confidence low (for TBD reasons): they unwound it because
    they realized that they've been caught by this 'celebrity' investor Peter Schiff, who is actually a
    highly honest man with no grudges despite his public comments and how his Puerto Rican bank
    was caught up in the world’s biggest tax evasion probe in 2020 .. or something like that /s;

    e) Some other clearly more plausible explanation that Tommy will have to provide.

    -hh
    LOL! Ok, you libtards COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT!! Well, here it is:
    https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t08.htm
    The employment GAINS were 402,000 in GOVERNMENT employees, while private
    industry had a LOSS of SEVENTY THOUSAND!!! Take home point: the economy
    SHRANK based on private employment numbers.

    Nope.

    Govt jobs growth was just 73K of the +336K MoM employment gain.

    WRONG: read the fucking report, Lyin' Asshole.
    I did, and nowhere does it say “402,000” or equivalent.

    Feel free to quote where that is listed in your cite.

    FYI, the +73K comes from the BLS cite I previously provided; the exact value requires
    you to click on the link to go to the Table data instead of eyeballing off the chart.


    You HAVE to do simple arithmetic, Lyin' Asshole:
    21,601,000 - 21,199,000 = 402,000
    Yet your math contradicts what BLS has published here:

    < https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    which suggests you’re doing something wrong in your numbers.

    FYI, the above cite also says that the only sector which didn’t have MoM jobs gain
    in September was Sector 7 (“Information”): all others had positive gains, which is
    contrary to your narrative attempt.

    And why did Sector 7 have a decline? Well, it is the sector for writers & actors,
    who are on strike.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, those aren't MY numbers, they are BLS numbers. So, YOU need to explain the differences.

    Already have: BLS didn’t publish your claim that all segments except Govt were doen.
    You did that after you mixed BLS values from different sources.

    That’s why your claim conflicts with BLS’s.

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, I didn't "mix" anything: that was Table A8 right out of BLS' report w/o ANY modification.
    It clearly shows gov't employment UP by 402,000 and private DOWN by 70,000.
    But you've not shown why your DIY derivation is *contradicted* by the above BLS link for the same month.

    FYI, here's the link again in case you try to be lazy/dodge:

    "Employment by industry, September 2023, Seasonally Adjusted, 1-month net change"

    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    This BLS page shows that all industries grew, except as I noted for 'Information' for both the 1-month & 3-month views.

    One has to go to the 6- and 12-month views to find _any_ other sector with a job loss, which is limited to just one
    industry segment, namely 'Transportation & Warehousing', and its decline is like -0.5%: nowhere near large enough
    to flip the entire 'private' segment negative as you're trying to claim.

    FYI, this is an unambiguous contradiction to your claim. It is also why it is wise to go through the entire official
    report to find where they've already answered the specific sub-question is you're looking for an answer on, rather
    than try to make mistakes with your DIY.


    -hh

    You haven't explained the contradiction - I stand by the data presented by BLS.

    so-called 'math', because BLS's "Employment by industry, monthly changes" Chart unambiguously contradicts you.

    Asa a reminder, the BLS "Employment by industry, monthly changes" Chart, is at URL:
    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    So then! This is now your third opportunity to explain why your 'math' is contradicted by
    BLS's reporting. Time for you to either put up, or run away again, yon "yellow bellied coward & liar".

    Oh, and in the meantime, the reason for Tommy repeating a spin attempt becomes clear:

    Presser, 7 Oct 23:

    US Employment report

    New Jobs: 336K vs 170K expected (!) >>>>>>>>
    Unemployment rate: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected >>>>>>>>
    Hourly earnings up 0.2% versus 0.3% expected (still ahead of inflation)

    BONUS:
    Revisions ADDED another 119K jobs
    And because Tommy's OP troll is obviously a partisan one:

    "Job growth during the last 3 GOP Presidencies averaged 10,000 a month, 120,000 a year over 16 years.

    Last month 336,000 jobs were created. That would be almost 3 years of job growth under Republicans. In a single month."

    <https://twitter.com/SimonWDC/status/1710348690093670507>


    -hh

    And do you KNOW where the job growth came from, Lyin' Asshole???

    Why would that matter?
    Because Tommy wants say something 'not nice' about NJ or something like that.

    In contrast to Tommy, wealthy investors know how to look at market opportunities by sectors
    and other relevant metrics...for which the Government is helpful in providing date, case in point:

    "Graphics for Economic News Releases
    Employment by industry, monthly changes"

    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    -hh

    LOL! The libtards CAN'T answer a simple question!!
    Answer my question about why yours matters first.

    :-)

    No, Fool, not playing that game

    Of course not!

    You're a coward.

    Always have been.

    If you have a point...

    ...make it.
    The funny part is that even his implied conspiracy theory in his earlier posts on this thread
    has been debunked (e.g. that it is significant that the last seven revisions have all been down)
    because this past month's report's revision to prior months was up .. and by a hefty +119K jobs.

    So perhaps Tommy can explain this 180 reversal in revisions trend. I'll give him a head start:

    a) The Over/Under revisions have been just statistically random chance all along: nothing
    to see here but the rants of loony conspiracy theorists who don't understand statistics;

    b) The initial monthly data collection process is known to over-estimate, so having more
    downward revisions than upwards (and why the revisions process exists) is very normal.
    Again, nothing to see here and this again illustrates that conspiracy theorists who are lazy
    and don't research the details in the weeds will falsely find things to try to rant about;

    c) The end-of-Quarter data collection & reporting process are different down in the weeds,
    basically representing better data. This effectively means that the significance wasn't really
    "7 in a row" of months, but more like just two (2) more accurate quarterly reports being in the
    same direction, which makes this a far more statistically normal variance occurrence and
    again something that bad-at-analytical-analysis conspiracy theorists come up short on;

    d) It really was a conspiracy! /s The Fed had been sandbagging the numbers. Why? Well
    they wanted to keep consumer confidence low (for TBD reasons): they unwound it because
    they realized that they've been caught by this 'celebrity' investor Peter Schiff, who is actually a
    highly honest man with no grudges despite his public comments and how his Puerto Rican bank
    was caught up in the world’s biggest tax evasion probe in 2020 .. or something like that /s;

    e) Some other clearly more plausible explanation that Tommy will have to provide.

    -hh
    LOL! Ok, you libtards COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT!! Well, here it is:
    https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t08.htm
    The employment GAINS were 402,000 in GOVERNMENT employees, while private
    industry had a LOSS of SEVENTY THOUSAND!!! Take home point: the economy
    SHRANK based on private employment numbers.

    Nope.

    Govt jobs growth was just 73K of the +336K MoM employment gain.

    WRONG: read the fucking report, Lyin' Asshole.
    I did, and nowhere does it say “402,000” or equivalent.

    Feel free to quote where that is listed in your cite.

    FYI, the +73K comes from the BLS cite I previously provided; the exact value requires
    you to click on the link to go to the Table data instead of eyeballing off the chart.


    You HAVE to do simple arithmetic, Lyin' Asshole:
    21,601,000 - 21,199,000 = 402,000
    Yet your math contradicts what BLS has published here:

    < https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    which suggests you’re doing something wrong in your numbers.

    FYI, the above cite also says that the only sector which didn’t have MoM jobs gain
    in September was Sector 7 (“Information”): all others had positive gains, which is
    contrary to your narrative attempt.

    And why did Sector 7 have a decline? Well, it is the sector for writers & actors,
    who are on strike.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, those aren't MY numbers, they are BLS numbers. So, YOU need to explain the differences.

    Already have: BLS didn’t publish your claim that all segments except Govt were doen.
    You did that after you mixed BLS values from different sources.

    That’s why your claim conflicts with BLS’s.

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, I didn't "mix" anything: that was Table A8 right out of BLS' report w/o ANY modification.
    It clearly shows gov't employment UP by 402,000 and private DOWN by 70,000.
    But you've not shown why your DIY derivation is *contradicted* by the above BLS link for the same month.

    FYI, here's the link again in case you try to be lazy/dodge:

    "Employment by industry, September 2023, Seasonally Adjusted, 1-month net change"

    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    This BLS page shows that all industries grew, except as I noted for 'Information' for both the 1-month & 3-month views.

    One has to go to the 6- and 12-month views to find _any_ other sector with a job loss, which is limited to just one
    industry segment, namely 'Transportation & Warehousing', and its decline is like -0.5%: nowhere near large enough
    to flip the entire 'private' segment negative as you're trying to claim.

    FYI, this is an unambiguous contradiction to your claim. It is also why it is wise to go through the entire official
    report to find where they've already answered the specific sub-question is you're looking for an answer on, rather
    than try to make mistakes with your DIY.


    -hh
    You haven't explained the contradiction ...

    I don't need to, because it wasn't my bad math that made that bad claim.

    ... I stand by the data presented by BLS.

    So do I. That's why I defer to the conclusions of BLS's online report instead of your
    so-called 'math', because BLS's "Employment by industry, monthly changes" Chart
    unambiguously contradicts you.

    Asa a reminder, the BLS "Employment by industry, monthly changes" Chart, is at URL:
    <https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/employment-by-industry-monthly-changes.htm>

    So then! This is now your third opportunity to explain why your 'math' is contradicted by
    BLS's reporting. Time for you to either put up, or run away again, yon "yellow bellied coward & liar".

    -hh

    No, this is your LAST CHANCE to explain it - Table A-8 speaks for itself, Lyin' Asshole.
