This is the worst employment report since 2020, and it reflects an overall downward trend in employment growth since 2022. In addition to the drop in private employment, the report also shows drops in full-time employment and ongoing stagnation in the total number of employed workers. This is an economy in which whatever lackluster growth there is in employment, it’s being driven by part-time jobs and taxpayer-funded government workers.
What more can one say?
It looks like there have been a lot of bogus reports in the past to make this so bad.
Someone has ordered this behavior and we are getting it.
