What did I tell you? Of course it's Biden's fault!

It must be tiring to search for articles to match your narrative. It was the Biden administration that had the highest number of federal employees. It was the same administration that went back and revised the unemployment numbers to make the economy look better than it was. You would have had a better chance of winning the lottery than coming up with the same exact numbers coming from 50 states consistently.

Life is good up here on 421 Mtn.

Gotta be Biden's fault.

Let's hope Trump joins the ranks of unemployed soon.

Here we are with 'ol antZtok AND numbers, again.

How many federal employees were drawing a work from home check and were not doing any work.

"New filings for unemployment benefits continued to climb last week, reaching 248,000 and for the second week in a row nearing our threshold of 250,000 that suggests risk of a recession," writes Tuan Nguyen, an economist analyzing U.S. and global economic data at RSM US LLP.

Nguyen said the mass layoffs of federal workers, together with a less accommodating labor market, are pushing "continuing claims" (workers who are still looking for work weeks after becoming unemployed) to 1.956 million last week. This, he said, is the highest level it's reached since November 2021.
