When 1,047,000 is really 10,500

Senile Biden LIED, Again !!! Overstating employment numbers by over a million. Actual numbers were 10,500. Senile Biden's Admin claimed they were 1,047,000 - all to help steal elections

The Biden administration vastly overstated its estimate that employers created more than 1 million jobs in the second quarter of this year, claiming historic job growth when in fact hiring had stalled, according to a new estimate.

Job growth was “essentially flat” in the second quarter with only 10,500 new jobs added, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said.

Republicans are accusing the administration of lying about the employment data in an election year and are demanding answers.

The Philadelphia Fed’s new assessment shows that employment numbers in 29 states and the District of Columbia were significantly lower than the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported for the March-through-June period.

The BLS, a division of the Department of Labor, estimated net job growth of 1,047,000 jobs in the second quarter. The Philadelphia Fed now says its data shows that 10,500 net jobs were created in that period.

Part of the question is, what are considered new jobs. Are jobs lost during the covid years, that are now being filed New?
The unemployment Rate during that time frame was the same as the all-time low of the Trump Administration ( 3.7% ). Actually, it went from 3.9% as of Dec 31st, 2021, to 3.6% as of March 31st 2022

U-6 is a better way to look
When you talk about employment , job growth, etc, you need to factor in how they relate to current conditions. Such as inflation.



Right now there aren't enough people entering the work force and wages are rising. Things need to slow down before inflation drops. An over simplification, but that's the jist.



Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday said the biggest remaining barrier to taming inflation is the shortage of workers, which is giving Americans greater clout to seek higher pay.

Biden has created ZERO jobs Over 2 million jobs short of 2019 People going back to work after Covid shutdown is not creating jobs The unemployment number is based on people looking for work does not include the millions sitting home getting everything free in the Democrats vote buying scam



I can't seem to find it anywhere that the Philadelphia Fed released any message like this. I searched all over their web site.
The only thing I found was the story from the post. You know, I wonder, if it's fake news.
