We are fricked. Multi trillion dollar deficits already, and now the economy is grinding to a halt. Can't spend our way out of this one.

At least wages are outpacing inflation.

What? Job creation being low is not the most significant metric when unemployment is at its current level. I don't think you can reach that conclusion until you have all the information. If unemployment increases and job creation declines, then you have a problem. I also wonder if federal works are calculated in this list.

Frick ADP. They are not the government and a private company. If they cannot figure their own data out, then they should probably nor report numbers. They should be able to write a simple query to report the number of new paychecks going out vs existing.

This seems more about market manipulation and less about accuracy.

How do ADP’s numbers compare to BLS numbers?

If Joe is a lazy dumb arse maybe. I have a position I’ve been trying to fill for months and we are busier than ever.

Just gave all the good performers on my team a 10% mid-cycle bump to make sire they keep it up.

Well Biden counted his 85,000 newly employed IRS agents so I would assume so

I know this is touchy subject because any criticism of the economy is seen as an attack on Trump...which is silly because Trump inherited this mess. You cant undo the Covid lunacy in 10 months. You cant undo bank bailouts and years of QE in 10 months.

Its infinitely safer to invest in asset(real estate, stocks, bonds, funds etc) because our government's primary mission it seems is to inflate these prices. Also production doesnt scale as easily with inflation. If inflation goes up 5%, the stock market goes up 20%


Its risky to invest in production. Its time consuming to invest in building a business. All this printed wealth sits on Wall Street, not Main Street.

Young people cant find jobs...not because they are lazy, but because there arent enough jobs. On top of not having a job, grocery prices are crazy high. I was buying ribeyes at Walmart just 6 months ago at $11/lb every day....now they are $16/lb. It aint just beef, restaurants, services, all of it. Inflation is consuming people and their incomes are not rising to meet it.

We have fundamental issues with our economy that the same ol same ol from DC wont fix

Go to a bank and try to get a loan to start a business, or build a spec home, or anything other than buying something built years ago that the government protects the price of. Unless you are rich already, you aint getting a dime.

I realize Boomers and Xers who only see the economy as the stock market and can conveniently ignore all the young people who cant find work, will downvote me. Thats fine

Id say yes, but if people were doing those jobs and the operation can go on without those jobs, the demand is less.

Once the credit limit gets close on that credit card...hospitality and leisure gives way to groceries and gas
