      Yeah, the headline seems to belie the much less scandalous story that initial surveys aren't as reliable as more time-consuming-but-accurate hiring estimates.

      Also, the "1M less jobs" number is absolute bullshit. BLS has the revision at around 200,000

      The over-the-year change in total nonfarm employment for March 2023 was revised from +4,048,000 to +3,836,000

      which is still an enormous uptick in new jobs annually and in no way indicative of a weak economy on its face.

      Blah blah neoliberal economics bad, blah blah quality of live metrics not included, blah blah glorious people's revolution blah blah things will be different. That said, this site's claims are trash and nobody should be taking anything the Daily Caller prints seriously.

        This number is also exactly what is reported in the article. 200k jobs revised downwards in MARCH 2023

        The total revisions across the entirety of 2023 sums up to > 1 million

        Please don't discredit my conservative news sources. You commies could learn a thing or two from the other side

          200k jobs revised downwards in MARCH 2023

          That was the over-year total, which is to say March 2022 to March 2023. We didn't create 3.8M jobs in March alone.

          Please don't discredit my conservative news sources.

          I know this is trolling but it upsets me nonetheless.

            Oh you right I looked at the raw data more carefully and the revisions for 2023 total meant they actually their forecasts were about 100k short haha

            Sorry about the trollin

          It’s not like they’re going to get click-through revenue from us. Sounds like liberal consumerism praxis to me.

            And what about CNN, which is pretty reactionary? Where’s the line we’re drawing in corporate media?

              another consideration: why should we clog the internet archives with this trash?

                Their storage space is probably already clogged with it, but when we performatively send traffic to them, it costs them money.

        That's what I've been noticing, most job postings are low, low paid, and even on Linkedin only the most balsy sketch low paid bullshitters 'start ups' keep contacting me. Like plz, I'd earn working more at fast food than I would with you, I earn more right now, I'm just not a fan of this job.
