BLS jobs report is moments away.

what do you think? a BS positive six-figure number with large negative corrections for the last 2 months?

here it is: Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 147,000 in June

yeah that's definitely going to be corrected down

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for April was revised up by 11,000, from +147,000 to +158,000, and the change for May was revised up by 5,000, from +139,000 to +144,000. With these revisions, employment in April and May combined is 16,000 higher than previously reported.

I work in staffing. I find these numbers very suspicious.

Government employment rose by 73,000 in June. Employment in state government increased by 47,000, largely in education (+40,000). Employment in local government education continued to trend up (+23,000). Job losses continued in federal government (-7,000), where employment is down by 69,000 since reaching a recent peak in January. (Employees on paid leave or receiving ongoing severance pay are counted as employed in the establishment survey.)

Health care added 39,000 jobs in June, similar to the average monthly gain of 43,000 over the prior 12 months. In June, job gains occurred in hospitals (+16,000) and in nursing and residential care facilities (+14,000).

In June, social assistance employment continued to trend up (+19,000), reflecting continued growth in individual and family services (+16,000).

Employment showed little change over the month in other major industries, including mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; construction; manufacturing; wholesale trade; retail trade; transportation and warehousing; information; financial activities; professional and business services; leisure and hospitality; and other services.

So half the number is government employment despite reductions in federal government.

I know some states were offering state jobs to federal employees that were cut or wanted out.

Yeah PA is one of them. Not sure how many actually transitioned to state jobs, the above suggests a good number of them - if true.

I was told government jobs weren't real jobs by Norse. Is that still the case or is it different when it's convenient to their argument? Asking for a friend.

Never waste 8 hours of your life fighting a predisposed outcome.

On June 24, Forbes reported that the U.K. is facing a massive transfer of wealth out of the country, "the largest single-year exodus of wealth ever recorded.”

Projections indicate 16,500 high-net-worth individuals — those whose "liquid investable wealth [is worth] $1 million or more” — are seeking residency in other countries.

I guess Nebraska should have considered the possible outcome of basing your economy on illegal slave labor.

Kind of ironic that a guy who probably fly's a confederate flag would make this statement.

plus, don't forget if they work on a farm, trump just gave the illegals a free pass. i'm sure sloth and the other lemmings will be freaking out over this obvious example of open borders.

Kind of moronic for a chick with the IQ of a felt tip pen to think she rates high enough to make valid assumptions.

Hey, I for one don't mind all these countries getting jacked tariff rates.

It's not like the tariffs would prevent further business development in those countries allowing them to take market share away from China.

Awesome that these past 90 days has restored America's good name at establishing red lines. Take that Obama.
