This is what infuriates me about these reports and talking heads. Who cares how many jobs were added if wages remain low, or better paying roles are replaced by lower wages and no benefits, or workers are losing job security, or their stifled wages afford less?
That the economy is doing well when more people are starting than ever since the Great Depression is so divorced from reality that the “facts” they’re basing that assessment on are too irrelevant to even question tbh…

When they say things like this they’re not talking to regular people. They’re reporting sales numbers to investors and CEOs.
Don’t forget those “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” voting against their own interests.
Who cares? The employers who have to provide benefits for people who work >X hours, that’s who.
good thinking: always question facts
always have to - journalism not only cherry picks titles but even lies with statistics

Wage growth surpassed inflation every month this year.
Not saying you’re wrong or I disagree with your sentiment.
For who?
Three letter titled people.
Across all wages combined? What if you just look at people who make <100k?
