    Cue the fox News report on how it’s actually good to lose jobs. The economy is “getting leaner” or “more streamlined” or some bullshit.

    The most magnificent, strongest, and healthiest economy… It’s really the best, you can’t do any better and we’re doing it. We’re really doing great work with it

    okay so they split out farm payrolls as an attempt to remove seasonal workers but did they actually remove seasonal workers from their datasets or are they pretending farm workers make an effective proxy? because i bet you if i dig into the dataset they are not.

    everyone knows seasonal workers get fired in january and february. i bet the real numbers are way worse.
