Must be the new Bidenomics math!! Or it is quantum mechanics happening. Maybe unemployment will be 1.4 if they open the box again. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDole Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Such a horrible job, increasing jobs and keeping the unemployment low. Can't we find a way to impeach him to get him out of office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ban Basketball Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I think the strangest observation that I always make when good economic news, or any good news for the country hits, Tattletale "News" and AM radio spend all day enraged talking down the good news for everyone. HUD McVeigh Hannity usually goes positively berserk for his entire three hours, enraged about good news for America. Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

mspart Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 In further reading, the Yahoo finance site said that labor participation is picking up, which might be the reason for the uptick in unemployment numbers. But you have to admit, that the headline is not good news. Not only that, no one saw a rise in unemployment coming. Which is why the stock market didn't do well today. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one everyone else lives in. When unemployment jumps from 3.5 to 3.8% in one month and caught everyone by surprise. That's why the stock market didn't do so well today.
