Labor Dept Admits/Govt household survey-takers mistakenly counted about 4.9 million temporarily laid


UPDATE:





Labor Department admitted that government household survey-takers mistakenly counted about 4.9 million temporarily laid-off people as employed.
The government doesn't correct its survey results for fear of the appearance of political manipulation.
"..said the real May rate is worse than the numbers indicate".


🤬

The Liars Stench is becoming over whelming . When they send Kudlow out to lie to the Media,you just know his facts came from twisted sister's book of misinformation.

Go to make Donnie look good,so Larry is back on the Blow and the Potato Juice.

with zero hard core Economics Background. His understanding of Economics came from Jim(inside trader)Cramer. Today's presser sure looked and sounded like one of his pressers covering for Bush and Cheney's failed Tariff debacle.

But,Larry is a cheap propaganda hire.

This admin wants you to believe that a "mistake" was made 4.9 MILLION times. Unless this was several million employees making this mistake one or two times you have a systemic plan to fudge the numbers.
