Employment numbers!
Oh, this is a good one!
Please explain...
U1
U2
U3
U4
U5
and
U6.
Why are they always adjusted at least 3 months after they are initially published.
And why are there 6 levels.
They are adjusted because more data becomes available. In our instant gratification society people want the data before it is finalized, thus they get what they get. Over time more data comes in and they update the numbers. You, being dataphobic, think this is a bad thing, when in reality it is a good thing because in the end you get the best possible data. Why there are 6 levels is because different people need different data. Just because you are too uneducated to know what to do with the numbers does not mean that everyone is.
Because each piece of "raw" data is not raw data, it's manipulated data.
And once again you report bullshit for a living,
The numbers posted are never raw data, they are what the raw data reports. Yes, the data is manipulated and filtered and checked for errors and then analyzed more ways than your little mind can count.
My job is one of the fastest and best paying jobs out there, last year it was ranked the number 1 job in the country. People who actually work for a living and make decisions understand the importance of data, but more importantly the importance of that data being presented to them in a usable manner.
I assume with your fear of data that you also think that an actuary is a fake job as well.
When I first started at my new job I had to convenience new clients that we were worth the money, i had one very large producer that was skeptical but his son was pushing to him use our company. Between the son and I we convinced the dad and my boss for the operator to use our service for an entire season, at half price. If he thought we were worth it he would pay the other half and keep us on. My boss was not happy about it and told me in no uncertain terms that my future employment depended upon my success with this client. Almost 5 years later I am still there and so is the client.
So, you say that you responsible for granting a specific category of construction permit. What do you base your decisions upon...your feelings or cold hard data?
