Massive Jobs Beat: Swamp Spike Drives The Numbers

New government positions are what’s behind this pre-election “surge…”

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The American employment economy has suffered from serious anemia in recent years, especially if you are a native-born worker. A great jobs replacement is underway, one in which foreign workers – including illegal aliens – have been responsible for all of the job growth in our country in recent years.

In fact, over the past six years net job growth among native-born workers has been… wait for it… zero.

That’s right, nada.

Who is getting hired? Those who come into the country illegally…

That’s not xenophobic, either… it’s just the way the math has worked out. According to an analysis prepared by labor market expert Steve Englander back in June, “half of non-farm payroll growth” for the first six months of the 2024 federal fiscal year (which began last October) came from “undocumented immigrants.”

“Undocumented workers have added 109,000 jobs per month to (non-farm payrolls),” Englander estimated.

With that baseline in mind, we view this month’s employment situation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which calculated that America’s economy added 254,000 jobs in September. That marked the biggest single-month gain in half a year – and was well above the annual average of 203,000.

Of course, all of those numbers will be subjected to those pesky revisions…

It’s no surprise the BLS – run by the Joe BidenKamala Harris administration – is pumping sunshine so close to the 2024 presidential election (although it does make the recent politically motivated decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates all the more inexplicable). If job growth wasn’t cooling, why drop rates by half a basis point?

Anyway, the truth behind this jobs report – which is clearly intended to put wind in the sails of Harris’ presidential campaign – came in the form of “exploding” growth in government jobs.

According to our friends at Zero Hedge, the household survey – one of the two main readings the agency publishes – saw an unprecedented spike in government workers. Or, jobs that our jobs pay for.

“This was the biggest September surge in government workers on record,” the website concluded.

Conversely, private sector workers saw their ranks expand by only 133,000 – “a far more believable number, and one which however would indicate that the recent labor market malaise continues.”

Bottom line? Beware the “rainbows and unicorns” numbers coming out of the ever-expanding Washington swamp… the reality across the rest of the country doesn’t conform to its pre-election “jobs” propaganda.

Putin is proud of FitsNews October 4, 2024 at 5:25 pm

“ According to our friends at Zero Hedge…”

lol

The Russian misinfo loop is complete. FitsNews is literally saying a known Russian propaganda outlet is “our friend”. A big part of Russian psychological warfare is using the “replacement theory”, which FitsNews is more than happy to repeat and spread. Textbook “useful idiot” behavior.

After Jack Smith’s damning dump of evidence of Trump and his people’s traitorous acts and Trump continuing mentally disintegration, MAGA world is in disarray and in desperation mode.

Americans are FAR better off today, then when Trump left the country in a ruinous state (like all modern Republican presidents). You can’t lie your way out of that, chicken little.

Do you actually have a single shred of evidence (not conjecture, hyperbole, or innuendo) to show that ZeroHedge is a “Russian propaganda outlet” or is this the typical Clintonesque first-tier chaff smokescreen that the commie left uses when they can’t actually provide any substantive, factual push-back on what the opposing side is saying? I’m strongly included to think it’s the latter.

MAGA got the sadz October 4, 2024 at 5:36 pm

Wages are up too.

So all these immigrants finding work (how awful!!!?) has helped to raise wages across the board?

You MAGA weirdos can’t have any happiness or positive views. All you are allowed by your cult leader is doom and gloom. Just because MAGA blogger business is WAY down, doesn’t mean everybody is living in a depressing and sad world like you all.

Just because there is a big drop in revenue for MAGA online media (all of Trump’s legal fees don’t leave much to trickle down to the bottom feeders this cycle) doesn’t mean the economy is doing bad for real, working Americans aren’t doing a lot better than five years ago (I know my family and friends are).

The whole racist “great replacement” fear mongering doesn’t land with voters living in the real world. Also, Zero Hedge is a joke that’s been flagged by US Intelligence for spreading Kremlin created content across the world.

The same “US Intelligence” that said the laptop was Russian disinformation?

Oh, the head useful idiot is back.

I’ll listen to actual US Intelligence, while you listen to Putin/FoxNews/Various Conspiracy sites/FitsNews/Zero Hedge

By the way, are you doing better today, than you were five years ago?

Bobo, as someone who’s held a top secret clearance for more than 2/3rds of his life, I can assure you that what you’ve heard stated as “US Intelligence” is generally, anything but. The politics involved in developing and disseminating information would blow your mind. The best example is one you seem to deny; “50 top intelligence officials say alleged Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation”. We now know that it was all too real…

Sure Cornhole. I bet you’re privy to all manner of “top secret” info.

Somehow all that info is exactly the same as Russian misinfo and nothing new or unique to the topics at hand. I imagine you’re a top secret military man, like Trump is a successful businessman.

You MAGA nutters sure love your fantasies and lies.

Not seeing anything to change that view coming from you, top secret.

Another MAGA fail October 4, 2024 at 11:49 pm

So, according to you MAGA types, immigrants are coming here illegally to sit around, commit crimes and suck up our social services….

But, they are also applying for and getting hired by businesses to take all of the Native/ born American’s jobs?

Y’all are some confused idiots. Maybe read the MAGA talking points first, before regurgitating them?

“A great jobs replacement is underway”

Will is just a couple of blahg posts from carrying a tiki torch and chanting “Jews will not replace us”.

Seriously, as the election gets closer it’s hard to figure out who is unraveling faster–Trump or Fitsnews. Suck it up, buttercup.

So Fits cites ZeroHedge in regard to a purely factual issue: that about half of all the new jobs in the latest jobs report are from government employment expansion. Their supporting sources? Oh, JUST THE GOVERNMENT”S OWN DATA. And what does the Che Guevarra and Shining Path fanboy club chime in with? A well-sourced citation providing factual refutation to Zero Hedge’s observations? NOOOOOOO. They just call ZH a Russian propaganda outlet (without a shred of evidence) and a bunch of side-stepping jibberish. Anyone who is paying attention with a moderate amount of intellectual honesty can see that the whole Russian propaganda crap is just the desperate attempt of those who can’t shovel up some real arguments.

Also, can’t wait to see the umpteenth downward revision of Labor’s jobs report. It happens so much that any decent market insider just laughs when these things come out initially….
