Below is the guts of an article published today showing how Yellen cherry picks economic data to paste over huge cracks in the health of the US economy . ( Is Wanker related to her ?)
Fudged and manipulated data is the norm in this corrupt and disastrous regime. Below are a few examples which together give major cause for concern -- not just about the economy as a whole , but also the suitability and desirability of having cheats in charge of the official narratives
Yellen's Bald-Faced Lies Exposed
SATURDAY, JAN 13, 2024 - 04:40 PMAuthored by MN Gordon via EconomicPrism.com,
Did you see the recent government propaganda from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics?
Not the latest faulty claim that consumer prices increased at an annual rate of just 3.4 percent in December. But rather the claim that 216,000 jobs were added in December.
Upon release, and right on cue, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen declared that the U.S. economy had achieved a soft landing. She also said that her “hope is that it will continue.”
What Yellen neglected to mention was that October employment was revised down by 45,000 jobs and November was revised down by 26,000 jobs. That’s 71,000 jobs the government recently reported which didn’t exist.
How many of the 216,000 jobs reported for December will wind up being pure fantasy?
Yellen also didn’t mention that 52,000 of the reported jobs are in government, 59,000 are in health care and social assistance, and 22,000 are in food services.
These aren’t the kind of jobs that create and spread new wealth and abundance to the economy.
In addition, there are 4.2 million workers that are employed part time for economic reasons.
This represents individuals who prefer full-time employment but are working part-time because their hours have been cut or they cannot find full-time work.
There are also 8.5 million multiple job holders. These are people who work more than one job because a single job doesn’t pay the bills.
Yellen, obviously, isn’t interested in these pesky details. What she is interested in is that when the data is massaged and contrived, and then summed up, the government can report an unemployment rate of 3.7 percent
