Job seekers' confidence in finding new employment has fallen, a new survey reveals. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Survey of Consumer Expectations, the average "perceived probability" of finding a new job after losing one fell 5.8% points to 44.9% among heads of households surveyed in August, the lowest measure on record since 2013 when the New York Fed began collecting data.

Well today it comes out that the 2024 job gains were exaggerated by nearly 1M workers, and this is on top of an already reported 577K in downward revisions.

This brings the current Biden jobs overstatement to a staggering 1.5M.

Things haven't been going well for a long time.

IAMRUNT is especially proud of the numbers his decomposing idol put up.

Destroying the economy took Dummkopf Trumpf only a few months to accomplish. Just imagine what he'll have done to the US by 2028.

I was chatting about this was a friend last night that's wrapping up his doctorate on business admin.

It's not just the apocalypse for coders, "nobody" wants to hire junior white collar employees anymore. You don't need a senior and 3 jrs for a task, you need a senior and AI.

Apparently you don't need customers with sufficient income to buy your products either.

Sell to government. Infinite debt available.

Universal Basic Income is the only way "selling to the government" can be morphed into a serious answer.

Not to worry.

I've been told Americans are eager to take to jobs undocumented immigrants were doing.

Hundreds of jobs are now available in the agricultural sector.

Who wouldn't want to work from sunrise to sunset picking crops in a field or tending to livestock?

Good news is, Trump is firing all Black federal employees, because everyone knows Black people belong on plantations working for their masters. I know Boaz agrees.

More like sunset to sunrise. Global warming is driving night harvesting.

The Poors will be Subservient and they will Love it.

The Oligarchs will be Untaxed so the "little people" will pay their tax burden For them.

It's like 1789 All Over Again.

What could Possibly Go Wrong?

No.

The US government buys tons of stuff and takes out infinite debt to do it. They may store it, they may give it away, not the sellers problem.

If I were to say, oh, setup a fiberoptic extruder line that spits out 5kg aero optimized cable spindles, because there's incredible demand right now and being subject to ITAR I can't sell it direct, and the general public doesn't buy these... it's going to government, with their unlimited debt.

This is because they're polling the ones who are being deported.
