Does ANYONE believe the job numbers for September?

9. If people would read the actual release they would have read this statement at the very beginning

Total nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 119,000 in September but has shown little change since April

For the record, jobs have increased by just 193,000 from April through September. Those are terrible numbers. By far the worst 5 month job growth since the Great Recession (excluding the periods which included February & March 2020 which include huge job losses due to pandemic shutdowns). The average 5-month job growth during expansion periods since the Great Recession has been 1,178,000.

Anyone who believes that Trump would "fake the numbers" in such a way that they admit that jobs have changed little over the the past 5 months I would have to say legitimately have TDS.

It's been pointed out many times, that the statistics put out by the administration can not be faked without it being called out by whistleblowers and statisticians who understand how the data are developed.

Yet many here continue to insist that every number released by the administration must necessarily be fake. Even when those numbers are not positive. The idea that the Trump administration would be publishing fake data and that data would still paint them in a very poor light is insane. I mean, the point in faking the data would be to make the numbers look GOOD. The data the BLS has released this year has not once been better than mediocre and at least 75% of it has been downright BAD.
